Cort Dennison enters his third season at Louisville, coaching the inside linebackers for the second season and adding additional duties as the recruiting coordinator.
One of the youngest members of the coaching staff, Dennison has quickly established himself as a fine young football coach and one of the best recruiters in the nation. He was named one of the 247Sports’s 30 Under 30 coaches in the country.
Under Dennison's tutelage, linebacker Dorian Etheridge became the school's first true freshman to lead the team in tackles with 83 and was named an ESPN Freshman All-American. Senior Stacy Thomas was third on the squad with 69 tackles.
The Salt Lake City, Utah, native, Dennison started his on-the-field coaching career when he served as the assistant secondary coach during the 2016 season. The Cardinals finished the year tied for 22nd nationally and third in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 15 interceptions.
Dennison, who joined the Louisville staff in 2014 as a defensive graduate assistant, served as the director of on-campus recruiting in 2015.
Prior to coming to Louisville, Dennison worked as a graduate assistant for Bobby Petrino at Western Kentucky, where he assisted with the linebackers and contributed to the opponents' film breakdown and game planning.
As a player, Dennison was a standout linebacker at Washington, where he served as a captain and was tabbed the Most Outstanding Defensive Player during his senior season.
A second-team All-Pac 12 selection, he finished as the league's leading tackler with 128 total tackles, including a career-best 15 tackles in the Alamo Bowl versus Baylor.
Dennison graduated from Washington with a communications degree in 2011, and earned his master's degree from Louisville in Sports Administration in 2015.
