The Cardinal Countdown: 85 Days Until Kickoff

#85 Cody Swabek

Class: RS Freshman

Ht/Wt: 6-1/168

Position: Wide Receiver

Hometown: Louisville, KY (Product of Trinity High School)

Thoughts: If the name Swabek rings a bell it’s because Cody’s father, Craig, is a former UofL tailback (‘85-‘88) and is now the color commentator for the football Cards alongside the infamous Paul Rogers. Cody came into the Louisville program last season as a preferred walk-on after getting some interest from UK and Boise State amongst others, and similar to Bagley he was in a wait and learn scenario. (Before you internally dismiss a walk-on, don’t forget one Scotty Radcliff, who was huge for the Cards as his career progressed and even earned a scholly his senior year) We had a ton of veteran players at the WR position and getting on the field as a true freshman was going to be tough.
