2023 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 37 Days (Declan McMahon)

Written by: Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The 2023 edition of the Hoosier Huddle Countdown is officially underway! We are counting down from 100 to the beginning of the 2023 Indiana University football season. Each day, we will take a look at one (or two) players on the current Indiana football roster and highlight the player’s role in the upcoming season. Today’s profile features redshirt freshman running back Declan McMahon.

Name: Declan McMahon

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY (Poly Prep)

Position: Running Back

Year: Redshirt Freshman

Height/Weight: 6’0”/185 pounds

McMahon may be more known for his last name than his exploits on the football field. His family is WWE royalty as he is the grandson of Vince McMahon and the son of Shane. Declan came to IU as a preferred walk on prior to the 2022 season.

He did not see any game action in 2022 but was named Offensive Scout Team Player of the Week against Michigan. He comes from a program that has had a good history with having impact players at IU including Lance Bennett, John Panozzo, Chris Mangiero and Jahkeen Gilmore.

McMahon probably does not factor into the running back rotation in 2023 however his hard work can help the team in practice and hopefully is rewarded with playing time in the future.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 36 tomorrow!
