LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Ahmari Huggins-Bruce is back on Louisville's roster, months after the 1,000-yard wide receiver transferred to South Carolina and participated in spring and fall practice with the Gamecocks.
A news release from Louisville said Huggins-Bruce was expected to join the team for practice Tuesday but did not elaborate. South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said last week that Huggins-Bruce was no longer with his program but he did not know where he was going. Asked Monday whether Huggins-Bruce had reenrolled at Louisville, Cardinals coach Jeff Brohm instead focused on his current roster -- but now he has a key offensive contributor back on board.
Huggins-Bruce was second on the team with four touchdown catches and fourth with 312 yards on 20 receptions in nine games last season as Louisville reached its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship. He has 1,121 yards and 10 TDs on 80 catches in three seasons at the school.
The Cardinals, who stand just outside the preseason AP Top 25 with 111 votes, open Saturday against Austin Peay.
