Indiana has found needed help at slot receiver for 2025.
Cal transfer Jonathan Brady will reunite with Fernando Mendoza in Bloomington this year.
Over three college seasons, the 5-foot-10 and 180-pound Brady has played 41 games. He has amassed 98 career receptions for 1,317 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He had no drops on 49 targets this year, and has only has three drops on 149 career targets.
A versatile weapon, Brady has also rushed 23 times for 140 yards during his career, returned 11 punts for 101 yards, and 17 kickoffs for 317 yards.
In 2024, he had 36 catches, 386 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the Bears. He played in all 13 games and saw 487 snaps. Brady played on the outside for significant snaps due to injuries but will likely be a slot receiver for the Hoosiers. He played almost exclusively at slot receiver over his first two seasons of college.
Brady transferred to California ahead of last season.
A product of Bishop Gorman H.S. in Las Vegas, Nev., Brady committed to New Mexico State out of high school. He was a two-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class. In two seasons with New Mexico State, Brady posted 62 catches, 931 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
Brady should have one year of eligibility remaining.
Indiana lost projected starting slot receiver Tyler Morris for the season due to a spring knee injury. Morris had transferred in from Michigan and should be available in 2026.
Brady will join a talented receiver room that includes Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper, E.J. Williams and Makai Jackson.
