LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Quarterback
Brian Brohm will return for his senior season at the University of Louisville, the Louisville native announced at a Monday morning press conference at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Brohm has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in his first three seasons as the quarterback at Louisville. The senior signal-caller is one of the winningest quarterbacks in school history, posting a remarkable 18-3 record as a starter.
"This was a very difficult decision," said Brohm. "I talked it over a lot with my family and I think coming back to school is the best thing for me at this time. I love playing at the University of Louisville and still have many goals out there that I want to achieve."
Despite missing two games with a thumb injury, Brohm threw for a career-best 3,049 yards and 16 touchdowns. He was a second team All-BIG EAST performer and led the Cardinals to a 12-1 record. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Orange Bowl after completing 24-of-34 passes for 311 yards in the Cardinals' 24-13 win over 15th-ranked Wake Forest.
In 2005, Brohm played just 10 games after missing two starts with an injury. He was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, after throwing for 2,883 yards and 19 touchdowns. He finished second in the nation in passing efficiency and completed a remarkable 68.8 percent of his throws.
For his career, Brohm stands fourth in school history with 6,751 passing yards and 41 career touchdown throws. He currently holds the school record for completion percentage at 66.2 percent. He also ranks third in school history in total offense with 6,841 yards. Brohm also has 11 300-yard passing games in his career, which is also second-best in the school's annals.
