Privott leaving UofL football

Linebacker Mike Privott is transferring from the Louisville football program and heading to Norfolk State, according to Matthew Hatfield of VirginiaPreps.com. The 6-0, 225-lb native of Norfolk, Virginia was a three-star recruit and rated as one of the top 45 linebackers in the country out of high school. He signed with the Cards in 2009. However, after redshirting the 2009 season, Privott has only seen minimal action in two seasons. By transferring to Norfolk State, a FCS program, Privott will not have to sit out a year and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
