LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville announced Saturday that senior free safety Devin Neal has left the program one season after leading the Cardinals with four interceptions and earning All-ACC honors.

No reason for Neal’s departure was stated in a news release less than an hour before the No. 22 Cardinals hosted SMU in league play. He was listed as the “or” pick just below Tamarion McDonald on the two-deep chart, even though McDonald has started all four games.

The Lexington, Kentucky, native was a third-team All-ACC selection last season after ranking third in the league in interceptions, with two of his picks coming in a 33-20 home win over No. 10 Notre Dame yielded. He joined Louisville for the 2023 season after playing three years at Baylor, and Neal’s 67 tackles ranked third on the team.

He had nine tackles this season, four solo, and was tied for 12th on the team. Neal had three stops in a loss at Notre Dame last week and has blocked a punt this season.

Louisville also said wide receiver Jimmy Calloway would not play against the Mustangs.
