Elvis Kool Dumervil (born January 19, 1984) is an American football outside linebacker who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Louisville, where he was recognized as a unanimous All-American. Dumervil was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, where he played for seven seasons before joining the Baltimore Ravens in 2013. Dumervil has made the Pro Bowl five times and set the Ravens' franchise record for most sacks in a season with 17 in 2014.
Dumervil was born in Miami, Florida. His parents were Haitian immigrants to Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. Separated when Dumervil was three years old, they raised a total of 10 children. He attended Miami Jackson High School, where he was a two-sport star in football and track. He played high school football for the Jackson Generals team. Rated among the top 25 defensive ends by most football recruiting publications, Dumervil had a Jackson High School record 78 career sacks.
Despite standing at 5 ft. 11 in., Dumervil was one of the most dominating defensive players in school history and put together one of the most impressive collegiate seasons in 2005. A native of Miami, Fla., Dumervil attended the University of Louisville, where he played for coach John L. Smith (2002) and Bobby Petrino's Louisville Cardinals football team from 2003 to 2005. As a freshman in 2002, Dumervil recorded six tackles and two tackles for loss, but he impressed the coaching staff with his quickness and his high energy. After John L. Smith left, Petrino took over, and Dumervil's career took off. In 2003, he tallied just 28 tackles and two sacks. The Cardinal coaching staff had planned on redshirting him during the 2002 season, but injuries to other players and a lackluster performance by the defensive line forced him into the rotation.
