Louisville Cardinals running back Keyjuan Brown has been indefinitely suspended from the team, according to a recent announcement by head coach Jeff Brohm. The suspension comes after Brown was found to have violated team policies, though specific details regarding the nature of the violation have not been disclosed.([SI][1])
Brown, a 5-foot-10, 210-pound redshirt freshman from Atlanta, Georgia, joined Louisville as a three-star recruit out of South Atlanta High School. During the 2024 season, he appeared in 12 games, recording 47 carries for 243 yards and three touchdowns, along with five receptions for 53 yards. His performance contributed to the Cardinals’ 9-4 record and a victory over Washington in the Sun Bowl.([Yardbarker][2], [SI][3], [SI][4])
Prior to his suspension, Brown had entered the NCAA transfer portal in December 2024 and committed to Boise State. However, he withdrew from the portal in January 2025, opting to return to Louisville for the upcoming season. At the time, he was expected to compete for playing time behind fellow freshmen Isaac Brown and Duke Watson, both of whom had strong performances in the previous season.([Yardbarker][2], [SI][4], [SI][3])
The indefinite suspension raises questions about Brown’s future with the team and the impact on Louisville’s running back depth chart. As of now, the university has not provided further information regarding the duration of the suspension or any potential disciplinary measures. The situation remains fluid, and updates are expected as more details emerge.
