Former Tennessee defensive back Kaleb Beasley has committed to Louisville, via the NCAA Transfer Portal. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Beasley made 26 appearances during his two seasons with the Volunteers. He primarily served on the Volunteers’ special teams. He tallied 28 tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup for Tennessee.
Kaleb Beasley played high school football at Lipscomb Academy (TN), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 166 overall player and No. 23 cornerback in the 2024 recruiting cycle, according to the rivals Industry Rankings.
At the time of his commitment to the Cardinals, Beasley was the No. 99 cornerback in On3’s 2026 Transfer Portal Player Rankings. Louisville has had a strong offseason thus far, reeling in standout transfers such as wide receiver Tre Richardson and EDGE Tyler Thompson.
The Cardinals finished this past season with a 9-4 overall record and a 4-4 mark in conference play. Entering November, Louisville had a chance to make its first College Football Playoff appearance in program history. Alas, the Cardinals suffered a three-game losing streak and their playoff hopes crumbled.
In the final weeks of the season, Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm‘s name was tied to the head coach openings at Penn State and Michigan. However, with both positions filled, Brohm is returning to lead Louisville again in 2026.
Nonetheless, there will be several changes to Louisville’s staff next season. Defensive coordinator Ron English and defensive line coach Mark Hagen are not expected to return.
English had been with Louisville since 2023, when Brohm took over the program. He also has served on coaching staffs at Purdue, Florida, Mississippi State and Michigan. Along with his defensive coordinator duties, English coached Louisville’s secondary.
According to the Courier Journal, English is stepping away from the program for a year to watch his son, Seth, play his final season as a safety at Navy. Hagen had also been with Louisville since Brohm took the reins. Under Hagen’s supervision, Louisville ranked No. 32 in total sacks this past season and No. 41 in tackles for loss.
With the losses, Brohm’s offseason will be even busier than usual. Next season, the 54-year-old HC will aim to guide Louisville to its first CFP appearance in school history.
