Louisville freshman Carson Hilbert brings size and local pedigree to the kicking game
Hilbert is a **freshman placekicker** at Louisville with a rare frame for the position at **6'3", 215 pounds**, and he already has game action on his résumé from 2025 kickoffs for the Cardinals[1][2]. His profile is built on leg strength, kickoff value, and upside rather than volume stats, which makes him more of a developmental special-teams piece than a finished product right now[2][4]. A Louisville native and Trinity product, he fits the mold of a local, high-upside specialist who could grow into a dependable contributor if his consistency keeps catching up to his tools[3][5].
