Several former Hoosiers have been spotted back in Indiana over the last few days.

Defensive line hasn’t always been a strength for Indiana, and that’s probably describing things generously. Very often, competing in the Big Ten is about being competitive in the trenches, and a spring transfer out of the program by 2023 starter Philip Blidi had things looking bleak for the Hoosiers up front. But a wave of transfers into the program, including two spring additions to help offset the loss of Blidi, have provided optimism the Hoosiers could have a group that can make a splash. Of particular note, three defensive line transfers to IU are among the eight highest-graded 2024 Big…

Aaron Casey’s tribute to IU football legend George Taliaferro will continue Tuesday when he takes the field at the Bengals mini-camp wearing No. 44. Casey, who signed as a free agent with Cincinnati following the 2024 NFL Draft, was chosen by the IU staff prior to the 2022 season to wear No. 44 in honor of Taliaferro, who passed in 2018. Often referred to as the “Jackie Robinson of the NFL”, Taliaferro was the first African-American drafted into the NFL. The Chicago Bears took him with their 13th round pick in 1949. As a freshman at IU, Taliaferro became the…

It’s no secret the IU football program had some work to do this offseason to enhance their facilities. In an era when raising cash earmarked for players is every bit as significant if not more, finding money for facilities is a bigger challenge than ever. But in advance of a major recruiting weekend in late May, Indiana got at least two offseason facilities projects completed. A couple weeks ago we shared with you photos of Indiana’s renovations at their indoor practice facility.  Completed in 1996, the Mellencamp Pavilion is a bit of dinosaur in Power Four college football.  But IU…
