With under a month to go until Indiana football kicks off the 2024 season Hoosier Huddle’s Countdown to Kickoff is nearly complete. Today we look at defensive back Reese Bellin from Carmel, Indiana.

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: #27 Reese Bellin

Height: 6’0”

Weight: 200 pounds

Hometown: Carmel, Indiana (Carmel)

Class/Position: RS Freshman/ Defensive Back

Reece Bellin joined the Hoosiers football program as a walk-on during fall camp in 2023. He had an outstanding career for the Carmel Greyhounds as he was named Indiana Football Coaches Association All-State and. Indianapolis Star Super Team selection as a senior. During that season, Bellin caught 63 passes for 937 yards and nine touchdowns.
In an interview with Peegs.com’s Matt Weaver, Bellin said that his decision to walk-on at IU was “because of its proximity to Carmel. It has always been a dream to play in the Big Ten, and I can get an outstanding degree from Kelley. I had multiple scholarship offers at the FCS level, but none really gave me the academic and football opportunity that IU could. I couldn’t have been happier when they called and offered me as a preferred walk-on.”

Bellin comes from a winning high school program and brings that culture with him. It has been a while since a walk-on wide receiver made a big impact for the Hoosiers, but maybe Bellin has that potential down the road.
