Weight: 218 pounds

Marcelino Ball was an undersized three-star recruit coming out of Roswell High School in Georgia. Ball chose to play football for the Hoosiers after a productive senior season. He was ranked among the top-100 safeties in the country by Scout. Once Ball got to call Bloomington his home, he packed on some muscle and had an amazing freshman season. Ball finished third on the team in tackles with 75. He had two interceptions, eight pass deflections, and 4.5 tackles for a loss. He earned honorable mention for All-Big Ten, 247Sports True Freshman All-American honors, and IU’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year Award. Ball proved to be a Swiss Army knife on defense playing the husky position.
