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.
