#27

The Hoosier Huddle countdown to kickoff is in its final four weeks! For the 100 days leading up to kickoff, we at Hoosier Huddle will feature every player from the 2022 roster in anticipation of Indiana’s first game of the season against Illinois in Bloomington. Today, we will highlight two members of the Hoosiers: Trent Howland and Xavier Trueblood.

Xavier Trueblood (Redshirt Sophomore)

Hometown: Bloomington, Indiana

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 215 Pounds

Position: Linebacker

Xavier Trueblood joined the program as a walk-on in 2020. He redshirted his first season on campus. Trueblood played high school ball at Bloomington North High School, where he also participated in baseball and basketball. He played both sides of the ball in high school, ending his career with over 1,700 yards and 21 touchdowns as a tailback and 61 tackles with a fumble recovery for a score as a linebacker.

Trueblood has yet to see game action for the Hoosiers. He was named an Academic All-Big Ten selection last season, studying management through SPEA. His One Word for 2022 is Vision.
