Sample signed with the Washington Huskies in 2011 as a four star prospect. He was ranked the 9th best safety by Rivals.com and 135th nationally.
Sample attended American River College before signing with Louisville and will be eligible immediately.
A former safety at Washington, the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder played for the Huskies from 2011-2012. Sample played in three games in 2012, and also saw action in two games in 2011 before his season ended early due to an injury.
