Lincoln Kienholz brings dual-threat upside and big-game pedigree to Louisville
In the 2026 season, Lincoln Kienholz arrives at Louisville as a former four-star recruit and Ohio State transfer who won the Cardinals’ starting QB job, bringing a live arm, legit mobility, and experience from a national-title environment. He’s built on dual-threat juice more than volume stats so far, but his college line at Ohio State (21-of-36, 250 passing yards, 1 TD; 68 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs in 10 career games) shows efficient play in limited snaps. The fit makes sense if you want a poised, competitive quarterback with upside who’s already proven he can handle pressure.
