Louisville quarterback Harrison Bailey announces plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

In addition to Louisville running back Maurice Turner being headed to Tulane, Cardinals quarterback Harrison Bailey also has a new school.

Bailey has announced plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal in a social media post Friday afternoon. Bailey, a former four-star Tennessee signee and UNLV transfer, will have one season of eligibility remaining after serving as Cardinals QB Tyler Shough‘s backup this past season.

“I plan to enter the transfer portal to use my final year of eligibility,” Bailey wrote in a Friday afternoon post on X/Twitter. “I want to thank the University of Louisville, my coaches, teammates, the city and everyone at the university for all the support and memories. I am very grateful for my time in Louisville. #GodBless”

Bailey was a four-star recruit, and the No. 4-ranked quarterback in the 2020 class out of Marietta (Georgia) High, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He was also slotted as the No. 8 player in the state of Georgia and the No. 66 overall prospect in the class before joining the Volunteers as a freshman in the fall of 2020.

Bailey appeared in just six total games over his two seasons in Louisville, including five games in 2024, completing 24-of-33 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns in mostly mop-up duty this season. Prior to landing with the Cardinals, Bailey participated in six games for UNLV in 2022, completing 30-of-58 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns to one interception.
