    Class of 2027 linebacker Cain Brackney has flipped his commitment from UCLA to Indiana football, he told On3 Monday.

    This move was forecasted by various outlets as he took official visits to Indiana and Michigan.

    Brackney becomes Indiana’s 16th commit in the class of 2027. He’s the third linebacker in that group, joining Jalaythan Mayfield and Garyon Hobbs. 247Sports ranks Brackney as the No. 106 linebacker in the class of 2027, behind both Mayfield (No. 16) and Hobbs (No. 34).

    At 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, Brackney recorded 102 total tackles last season at Tulsa Union High as a junior. He added 12 tackles for loss, two sacks, two QB hurries, an interception that became a pick-six, a pass defended, and a forced fumble.

    Brackney is transferring to Bixby High for his senior year. That will be his third school of his high school career, as he attended Cherry Creek High in Colorado for his first two years.

    In addition to IU, Michigan, and UCLA, Brackney had other offers from Baylor, Arkansas, Iowa State, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, SMU, Colorado State, and Tulsa.
