Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

It is just three more days until the start of the 2024 Indiana Hoosiers football season. As the Countdown to IUFB Kickoff gets closer to the end, we look at two players who will be wearing number three for the Hoosiers. First up is Indianapolis native, Omar Cooper Jr.

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: #3 Jojo Johnson

Height: 6’0”

Weight: 184 pounds

Hometown: Merrillville, Indiana (Merrillville)

Class/Position: RS Junior/ Defensive Back

Johnson joined the Hoosiers in 2023 after playing at Iowa Western in 2022 and redshirting at Notre Dame in 2021. He was a big time recruit out of Merrillville, Indiana and when he finally broke into the rotation at corner last season, he made some plays.

Last season Johnson played in all 12 of IU’s games. He was mainly on special teams, but played more corner down the stretch. He made 12 total tackles and had one pass deflection.

This year, Johnson figures to be more in the rotation at corner when he returns healthy, which Curt Cignetti said would be a few weeks back in mid-August.
