Louisville OL Trevonte Sylvester Refutes Report He's Entering Transfer Portal

The offensive tackle was reported to be transferring just ahead of the start of the spring portal window.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As it turns out, one of the Louisville football program's reported spring transfer portal entries is actually staying put.

On Sunday, two days before the start of the 15-day spring transfer portal window, On3's Pete Nakos reported that three Louisville offensive lineman - Lance Robinson, Trevonte Sylvester and Reuben Unije - would all enter the portal.

When the first day of the spring transfer window came, Sylvester refuted Nakos' report, affirming his loyalty to Louisville.

"Nahh," Sylvester posted to Twitter/X, replying to Nakos' original report.

Robinson has yet to publicly confirm that he is indeed entering the portal, while 247Sports' Brandon Marcello confirmed Nakos' report that Unije would be.

Sylvester joined Louisville last offseason from Houston, spending his first three years with the Cougars. The 6-foot-6, 280-pound lineman played 68 snaps across nine games this past season, all at left tackle. He even had a one-yard trick play touchdown reception in the win over Miami.

While Louisville has seen 21 players transfer out, they have done a good job at countering their losses. So far, they have landed 24 commitments via the portal up to this point, sporting On3's No. 1 portal class in college football.

The Cardinals finished their 2023 season with an overall mark of 10-4 (7-1 in ACC) including a berth in the program's first ever ACC Championship Game. Year two under head coach Jeff Brohm is scheduled to kick off against Austin Peay on Saturday, Aug. 31 at L&N Stadium.
