Louisville running back Isaac Brown is reportedly planning to enter the transfer portal, according to On3. The sophomore rushed for 2,057 yards and 18 touchdowns in two seasons and is an interesting talent in the transfer portal.
Brown rushed for 1,173 yards and 11 touchdowns in his freshman season, winning ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was also Freshman All-American and earned Second Team All-ACC honors. In 2025, he missed the final four games due to injury but played the Boca Raton Bowl, where Louisville finished strong with a 27-22 win. In that game, he rushed for 102 yards and two scores against Toledo.

Upon learning this news, fans predict doomsday for Louisville.
“this is like 9/11 for Jeffersontown,” one fan reacted.
“Shelbyville will never be the same,” one fan wrote.
“dumpster fire in Jeffersonville,” one fan added.
“There isn’t a program he couldn’t start for,” one fan commented.
“This s*it crazy , he transfers just like in ncaa 26 😂😂😂” one fan reacted.
Meanwhile, one fan thinks he was a good riddance.
“He’s a talent, but can’t stay healthy or hold onto the ball. Better to spend NIL on offensive and defensive line as we’ve seen in the CFP,” one fan added.
Brown was a three-star recruit in the class of 2024 coming out of Miami. He was 42nd player in his class and 70th in his state of Florida.
