Isaac Brown Has All-American Upside in 2026
University of Louisville running back Isaac Brown decided to return to the Cardinals program after initially considering entering the transfer portal, a big win for Jeff Brohm. Brown is undoubtedly one of the top ball carriers in the country, and his production proves it. On just 101 rushing attempts during last year's injury-plagued sophomore season, Brown tallied 884 yards and seven touchdowns. His 8.8-yard rushing average ranked No. 1 nationally among players with at least 100 carries. He posted nearly 1,200 rushing yards as a freshman in 2024 and was clearly well on his way to doing so if he had a full season in 2025. With the inexperienced Ohio State quarterback transfer Lincoln Kienholz under center for the Cardinals in 2026, expect Brown to be the engine of Louisville's offense. With 1,148 rushing yards as a junior, he could move into second all-time in career rushing yards by a Cardinal, trailing only Lamar Jackson.
