The 2025 NFL Draft has arrived, and Indiana football appears likely to snap a multi-year drought.
IU has gone two straight NFL Drafts without any players selected, the program’s first such streak since 2012-13. But CJ West appears an essential lock to be selected, with some mock drafts projecting him to go as high as the third round. A few other Hoosiers have a chance to get picked — IU hasn’t had multiple players taken in the same draft since 2018, when both Ian Thomas and Chris Covington got drafted.
Here is a summary of various seven-round mock drafts and where they’re projecting Indiana players to get taken.
