Indiana picked up a commitment from Montana State transfer cornerback Carson Williams on Sunday.
Williams was in town visiting IU this weekend.
Playing almost exclusively on the outside, Williams had 46 tackles, 2.5 for loss, on the season and eight pass breakups. He started on Montana State’s FCS national championship squad.
At PFF he earned a 70.9 defensive grade, with his highest mark coming in run defense (79.3), and lowest in pass rush (55.0). He earned a 69.5 coverage grade, and 71.6 tackling. He was targeted 63 times and allowed 38 receptions.
The 5-foot-11 and 170-pound Houston, Texas product earned FCS Central All-American honors.
Williams has three years of eligibility remaining.
Indiana doesn’t have any cornerbacks who are out of eligibility following this season, but they have lost Amariyun Knighten to the transfer portal, and D’Angelo Ponds could leave early for the NFL.
Jamari Sharpe, Ryland Gandy, Jaylen Bell, Seaonta Stewart, Zacharey Smith, and Dontrae Henderson are all slated to be back at corner for the Hoosiers.
