Petrino Returns: Louisville Tight Ends Reloaded
23 Aug
Summary
- Paul Petrino returns to Louisville for his third coaching stint.
- Key transfers Brody Foley and Justyn Reid bolster the tight end room.
- Jaleel Skinner and Julius Miles add depth and potential to the unit.
Paul Petrino has returned to Louisville for his third coaching stint, taking on the role of tight ends coach under head coach Jeff Brohm. His previous experience with the Cardinals, including serving as offensive coordinator from 2003-2006 when the team led the nation in total and scoring offense, brings a wealth of knowledge.
The tight end position is significantly strengthened by the addition of several key players. Brody Foley, a first-team All-AAC performer from Tulsa, arrives as a prized transfer expected to be a major red-zone and play-action threat. Justyn Reid, transferring from Tulane, is noted for his strong blocking ability and receiving potential.
Veteran Jaleel Skinner, who has played in all 25 games since joining Louisville, brings experience to the group. He is expected to be utilized more in short-yardage and red-zone situations. Dylan Messman, a former four-star recruit, returns as depth, while freshman Julius Miles, with impressive high school statistics, presents an intriguing developmental weapon for the offense.
