IU football is off and running. The Hoosiers opened fall camp this week ahead of a highly-anticipated 2025 season. Fan interest and national media attention are as high as ever surrounding Indiana’s program after a historic 2024 season that saw the team shock the sport and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time. Curt Cignetti’s group has a lot of potential entering this year. IU has a good amount of returning production across the roster, and the coaching staff did well to plug various holes in the transfer portal. Cignetti met with local media this week after the…

Indiana football is two practices into fall camp ahead of the 2025 season. The Hoosiers battled sweltering heat on day one and spotty rain the next day, forcing them inside the mid-renovation Mellencamp Pavilion. They have a big month of work ahead of them, leading up to the season-opener against Old Dominion on August 30. IU’s roster is very promising as Curt Cignetti looks to follow up his historic first year with the program. But, as always, some areas have question marks. Here are a few of those big questions. Who will start at cornerback opposite D’Angelo Ponds? This is…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Indiana lost its two main running backs from last season in Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton, but the Hoosiers reloaded their backfield during the offseason. Curt Cignetti brought in some key transfers at the position, and there’s reason to believe IU’s running game in 2025 could be even stronger than the 2024 version. Roster turnover — who’s gone Justice Ellison (exhausted his eligibility, joined IU coaching staff) Ty Son Lawton (exhausted his eligibility) Elijah Green (transfer — Sam Houston State) Roster…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Curt Cignetti grabbed Kurtis Rourke out of the transfer portal to play quarterback for his first year at IU, and that match worked out very well. He’s hoping to extend that run of quarterback portal success in year two, turning to Fernando Mendoza (Cal) in 2025. The entire quarterback room looks different for the Hoosiers this season. Second-string quarterback Tayven Jackson transfer out after the season ended, and quarterbacks coach Tino Sunseri left to become UCLA’s offensive coordinator. Cignetti hired Chandler…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Despite losing several good, experienced players, Indiana’s safety room is in good shape entering fall camp. Just like at cornerback, Curt Cignetti and safeties coach Ola Adams have a good mix of experience and youth at safety. Junior Amare Ferrell leads the group, but several others could emerge as key pieces to this year’s IU defense by the end of the season. Roster turnover — who’s gone Shawn Asbury II (exhausted his eligibility) Terry Jones Jr. (exhausted his eligibility) Nic Toomer…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Indiana’s cornerback room has a good blend of youth and experience — and the group has a lot of talent all around. Curt Cignetti lost one starter at the position during the offseason, but he, defensive coordinator Bryant Haines, and cornerbacks coach Rod Ojong have some key transfers and promising freshmen to work with alongside first team All-Big Ten returnee D’Angelo Ponds. Roster turnover — who’s gone Cedarius Doss (exhausted his eligibility) Jamier Johnson (transfer — UCLA) JoJo Johnson (transfer —…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Indiana’s linebacker room suffered one major departure after the 2024 season. But with first team All-Big Ten selection Aiden Fisher back in the fold, and some promising pieces around him, the Hoosiers should be just fine in the middle of the defense. Roster turnover — who’s gone Jailin Walker (exhausted his eligibility, went to NFL) Josh Rudolph (transfer — UTEP) Nahji Logan (transfer — Nevada) Jamari Farmer (transfer — East Tennessee State) Carter Imes (walk-on, left program) Roster turnover — who’s back…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. First up in our IU football position preview series is defensive line, a group that ranked among the most consistently solid on Curt Cignetti’s team last year. Pat Kuntz and Buddha Williams did an excellent job with Indiana’s defensive line in 2024, and the Hoosiers did well in addressing vacancies in the room in the offseason. The Hoosiers have a lot of reason for optimism on the defensive front in 2025, anchored by one of the best players in the Big…

INDIANAPOLIS — Assembly Ball, Indiana’s alumni team competing in The Basketball Tournament, is going home early. The team with 11 former Hoosiers on the roster saw its game against Fail Harder slip away in the second half, ending in an 89-76 defeat at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse on Saturday. Assembly Ball led for most of the first half, largely because of a big foul disparity — AB took a 12-2 edge in free-throw attempts into halftime. But once that started to even out in the second half, Assembly Ball’s poor shooting numbers and Fail Harder’s strong clips proved the difference. AB…
