Quarterback Tyler Shough is adeptly adjusting to Louisville.
Louisville, Kentucky – The 2023 season marked a historic achievement for the Louisville football program, with the team reaching the 10-win milestone for the first time in ten years and making their inaugural appearance in the ACC Championship Game under first-year head coach Jeff Brohm.
As Louisville focuses on the 2024 season, their active engagement with the transfer portal and retention of impact players suggest they are poised to contend for the ACC title once again. However, the upcoming season will see significant changes, particularly at the quarterback position, with Jack Plummer exhausting his eligibility.
Tyler Shough, a transfer from Texas Tech and Oregon, has seamlessly integrated into the team since his arrival on campus. Shough’s commitment to hard work and building relationships with his teammates has been evident during his initial months at Louisville.
Shough’s decision to join Louisville was influenced by the Brohm brothers’ track record in quarterback development, the team’s successful 2023 season, and the talented roster. His experience and on-field performance at both Oregon and Texas Tech have further bolstered Louisville’s confidence in his abilities, despite concerns about his injury history.
Louisville’s coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Brian Brohm, recognizes Shough’s talent and potential, emphasizing his arm strength, athleticism, and experience. Shough’s impact during spring practice has been notable, showcasing his throwing accuracy and mobility.
While Shough is the frontrunner for the starting quarterback position, Louisville remains focused on developing their quarterback depth. Head coach Jeff Brohm emphasizes the importance of leadership and improvement across the entire quarterback unit, underscoring the need for readiness among all players at the position.
