The first two days of the week brought bad news for two former IU football stars. On Tuesday, the Denver Broncos waived their 2021 fifth-round draft choice Jamar Johnson.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say helping Donaven McCulley to reach his potential at wide receiver is right in Adam Henry’s wheelhouse. During a nine-year stint as the receivers coach at his alma mater (McNeese State), Henry was routinely dealt athletes he had to mold into route-runners, blockers and pass-catchers. “Most of the time when I got a receiver (out of high school), he never really played receiver,” Henry said back in March. “A lot of times, he was a great quarterback or running back; he played baseball and basketball; was an athlete. “We sculpted them into being a…

August is always a time for new names to emerge and veterans to rise to the occasion as opportunities are presented. Indiana’s 2022 fall camp is no different.

He’s the highest ranked recruit in program history, and Dasan McCullough might be ready to make a splash in year one. At the very least, McCullough made an impression on the Big Ten Network crew that was in Bloomington on Friday for the team’s first scrimmage. The son of former running backs coach Deland McCullough, it wasn’t clear where on the field Indiana would try to plug in the Bloomington High School South product. He was originally thought of as a safety, but after he grew to 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, McCullough could be either a linebacker or a stand-up…

If Tom Allen has his way, no one outside of his program will know who IU football’s starting quarterback will be until just before the season-opening kickoff against Illinois on Sept. 2. Allen said on Friday he plans to tell his team internally who will be the starter sooner, but he has no plans to make a public announcement until the Friday night contest in Bloomington three weeks from today. “As a program we would like to know, probably after the second scrimmage,” Allen said on Friday following the team’s first scrimmage. “I’m not going to announce it until kickoff…
