Jeff Brohm got big news today with the addition of Stephen Herron as a grad transfer from Stanford. Herron took an official visit to campus this weekend and quickly pulled the trigger at the end of the visit. Herron will have one year at Louisville after finishing his degree at Stanford and he made the choice to come back to his hometown for one more season.
Herron is a 6-3/240 edge defender that fits the role of the stand-up linebacker/defensive end in Ron English’s system. It’s a similar role as the “Dog” position in Bryan Brown’s defense that we saw Yasir Abdullah star in but it has some minor tweaks from what I’ve seen.
