Louisville football returns running back Isaac Brown and defensive back Jabari Mack

Louisville prepares for its upcoming season opener with the confirmed availability of running back Isaac Brown and defensive back Jabari Mack. Brown returns to the roster following an offseason recruitment period that resulted in the junior choosing to remain with the program after missing four games due to injury last year. The team expects him to share the backfield workload while focusing on ball security. Meanwhile, Jabari Mack has cleared eligibility hurdles to join the secondary for his fifth year. Having transferred from Jacksonville State last season, Mack contributed 34 tackles and several pass breakups as a depth piece. The coaching staff plans to utilize his experience within the defensive system as the Cardinals finalize preparations for the first game of the 2026 season.
