IU football’s recruiting class of 2026 continued to evolve on Sunday evening.
Sarasota, Fla. based safety LaRon Dues announced he is no longer an Indiana verbal commit.
“For the best interest for me and my family I will be decommitting from Indiana,” Dues wrote on his X account.
Dues announced his commitment to IU in June. He is a 3-star prospect, and the No 148 safety in the senior class based on the national average of the recruiting sites.
Indiana still currently has two safety commits in their national top-30 2026 class — 3-stars Jamar Owens and recent Colorado flip D’Montae Tims.
The Hoosiers also recently got a visit from 4-star safety and Penn State decommit Matt Sieg, who appears to be close to making his college decision.
Indiana has now seen a total of four former verbal commits in the 2026 class have a change of plans, including three in the last week:
- Jay Timmons, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, DB (4-star) –> Ohio State
- Walker Bryson, Rabun Gap, Georgia, WR (3-star) –> ?
- Cash Herrera, San Diego, California, QB (3-star) –> ?
- Laron Dues, Sarasota, Florida, S (3-star) –> ?
