Alright, so the other day I was kicking back, watching some football highlights, you know how it is. Lamar Jackson’s name popped up, naturally, the guy’s just everywhere when you talk QBs these days. And it got me thinking, wait a minute, where did he actually play college ball? I honestly couldn’t remember off the top of my head.

It kinda bugged me, felt like one of those facts I should know. So, I did what anyone does, right? Grabbed my phone while the highlights were still rolling.
My Quick Search Process
I just opened up a browser, didn’t even use a specific app. Typed in something simple like “where did lamar jackson go to college”. Pretty straightforward stuff.
The results came up instantly. Loads of articles, stats pages, the usual stuff you get when you search for a famous athlete. Took me like, two seconds maybe?
And there it was, clear as day on the first few results:
University of Louisville.

Yeah, Louisville. Soon as I saw it, it clicked. I was like, “Ohhh yeah, the Cardinals.” I definitely remember watching him play there now. Hard to forget once you see those plays.
Remembering His College Days
Man, thinking back, he was just insane at Louisville. That Heisman Trophy year? Absolutely dominant. It wasn’t just hype; he really tore up college football. Seeing that name again brought back some memories of those crazy runs and throws he made back then.
So yeah, mystery solved pretty quick. He was a Cardinal before he became a Raven. Just took a simple search to jog my memory. Good stuff.
