The Fishers, Ind. product entered the season as IU’s fourth-string back and spent most of it in a third-string mop-up role after Lee Beebe, Jr. was injured. Despite limited action, Martin’s 505 rushing yards in 2025 would have led the IU team in several seasons:  2023, 2010, 2006, 1984, 1983, 1981, and several years before that.  He produced the most rushing yards by an Indiana freshman since Stevie Scott III in 2018 — and that was on just 78 carries (6.5 yards…

BLOOMINGTON — Halfway through spring practice, Indiana football appears to have avoided to this point a major injury that would cost anyone the 2026 season. But like every spring, the Hoosiers are dealing with their share of postseason surgeries and bumps and bruises as they’ve returned to the field. Wide receiver Charlie Becker had a breakout 2025 campaign with 34 receptions for 679 yards and four touchdowns.  But there’s a good chance he’s done for the remainder of spring practice after suffering a hamstring injury over the weekend. “He tweaked his hammy last Saturday,” IU coach Curt Cignetti said Thursday. …

Indiana returns multiple key pieces of its offensive line from the 2025 national championship team. All-American Carter Smith is back a left tackle, and he’s joined by last year’s starting guards Drew Evans and Bray Lynch. But gone are likely NFL Draft pick Pat Coogan at center, and there’s also a void left at right tackle created by the departures of Khalil Benson and Zen Michalski. The Hoosiers made a prominent addition via the transfer portal by snagging Wisconsin’s Joe Brunner.  He’ll likely slot in as a starter alongside Smith, Evans and Lynch. But who will play where, and who…
