    IU football adds Old Dominion transfer QB Grant Wilson from the portal

    Indiana has added a second veteran quarterback from the transfer portal.

    Old Dominion transfer signal-caller Grant Wilson is headed to Bloomington according to multiple reports.

    The 6-foot-3 and 217-pound Wilson is a product of Arlington, Va.

    Wilson started three games at quarterback for ODU in 2024 before his season was ended by an injury.  He completed 46-of-86 passes for 507 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions.

    In 2023 Wilson played in 12 games, starting 11 at quarterback.  He completed 178-of-312 passes for 2,149 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions.  Against Curt Cignetti and James Madison, Wilson went 26-for-36 for a career-high 277 yards and two touchdowns.

    He is a frequent runner.  Wilson carried it 130 times for 291 yards and four touchdowns in 2023.  He was sacked 51 times that year, so there’s a hefty deduction for sack yards in those numbers.

    Wilson transferred to ODU from Fordham.  He should have at least one year of eligibility remaining, maybe two if he can get a medical hardship waiver for the 2024 season.

    Wilson joins a quarterback room that includes Cal transfer Fernando Mendoza, along with redshirt freshmen Alberto Mendoza and Tyler Cherry, and true freshman Jacob Bell.  According to a Friday report by the Indy Star, Cherry suffered a knee injury in December and his status for the 2025 season is questionable.
