Indiana has landed a commitment from Maryland transfer defender Kellan Wyatt, the Terrapins’ leader in tackles for loss in 2024.
The 6-foot-2 and 262-pound Wyatt played linebacker at Maryland but is expected to play the edge of the defensive line for IU.
Wyatt perfectly fits the mold of coach Curt Cignetti’s proven production over potential approach when it comes to recruiting transfer portal prospects. Wyatt has played in 35 games (27 starts) on a Big Ten roster and has 80 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks.
After playing his first three years for the Terps, the Glen Burnie, Md. product has one year of eligibility remaining.
In 2024, Wyatt played in 11 games, starting 10 times. He totaled 30 tackles (19 solo), 7.5 tackles for a loss, with three sacks and two forced fumbles. He led the team in tackles for a loss and was second in sacks. He had 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack at IU in September.
As a sophomore in 2023 Wyatt started all 13 games, and led the Terps and ranked in the top 25 in the Big Ten with 4.5 sacks. He also led the team with 6.5 tackles for loss. Wyatt added 34 tackles, 3 quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery to his stat line.
As a freshman in 2022 Wyatt appeared in 11 of 13 games with four starts at linebacker. He totaled 16 tackles (seven solo) and a sack for a 10-yard loss.
