Former Houston OL Reuben Unije commits to Louisville

Louisville continues to have success in the transfer portal. The Cardinals have landed a commitment from coveted Houston offensive lineman Reuben Unije.

Unije announced his decision on Twitter on Saturday.

Unije started 11 games for Houston this season, as the Cougars finished 4-8.

Reuben Unije originally signed with Illinois in the class of 2018, before attending Coahoma (Miss.) Junior College.

He ended up coming to Houston ahead of the 2020 season and was an immediate contributor. That season, Unije appeared in seven games, while starting the final six games of the season at left tackle. He did not allow a sack in 264 opportunities.

In the 2021 season, Unije only appeared in one game. Unije then appeared in seven games in 2022, making two starts, both at right tackle.

This past season, Reuben Unije moved into a permanent starting role, before entering the transfer portal.

He is joining a Louisville program that is coming off of an excellent season in Year 1 under Jeff Brohm. The Cardinals finished 10-4 in 2023, reaching the ACC Championship game.
