Indiana has added some much needed depth to its defensive line.
James Madison transfer defensive lineman Tyrique Tucker announced on Tuesday he is joining his former head coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers.
Tucker entered the portal two weeks ago and visited Bloomington over the weekend.
The 6-foot and 295-pound Tucker played in all 13 games in 2023 as a redshirt freshman, making five starts on the defensive line (two at defensive tackle and three at nose guard). He had 29 tackles (seven solo) to go with 4.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Now the 11th former JMU player to join Cignetti at Indiana, Tucker has three seasons of eligibility remaining. He’ll join former JMU defensive linemen James Carpenter and Mikail Kamara, who are also with the Hoosiers.
Several James Madison assistant coaches also joined Cignetti at Indiana.
Tucker hails from Norfolk, Va. where he attended Life Christian Academy.
