Louisville’s top defensive performer from the 2025 season is running it back for 2026.

Clev Lubin, who established himself as arguably the second best best edge rusher in the ACC this season, says he’s coming back for one last ride as a Cardinal next season.

In his first season after transferring in from Coastal Carolina, Lubin earned All-ACC accolades after notching 61 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and five pass breakups in 2025. His 64 QB pressures were the fifth-most in the FBS and the most by a Cardinal defender in at least a decade.

When it comes to NIL allocation, this was the staff’s primary focus on the defensive side of the ball. To have him locked in during the portal’s opening hours is comforting.

Now, let’s go bring back and bring in like seven hundred other dudes.
