2023 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 8 Days (Jared Casey)

Written by: Ethan Roberts (@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 look at one (or two) players on the current Indiana football roster and highlight the player’s role in the upcoming season. Today we look at linebacker Jared Casey.

Name: Jared Casey 

Hometown: Louisville, Kentucky

Position: Linebacker

Year: Redshirt Senior

Height/Weight: 6’3”/230 pounds

Casey transferred from Kentucky to Bloomington prior to last season and appeared in eight games for the Hoosiers. He tallied 18 tackles (9 solo) and 0.5 tackles for loss.

Previously at Kentucky he appeared in 23 games and posted 29 total tackles and a pair of tackles for loss. He also made the SEC fall academic honor roll.

He currently sits at the second string behind Jacob Mangum-Farrar but will likely be utilized for rushing downs and short-yardage situations. His experience combined with his run stopping ability should bolster the Hoosiers run defense in 2023.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 7 tomorrow!
