The Hoosier Huddle countdown to kickoff is chugging along! For the 100 days leading up to kickoff, we at Hoosier Huddle will feature every player from the 2024 roster in anticipation of Indiana’s first game of the season against Florida International University. Today, we will highlight a player entering his third season with the Hoosiers, Aden Cannon.

Position: Defensive Line

You need versatile guys with size on your roster, and Indiana is lucky to have one of those guys on their scout team when it comes to Aden Cannon. Cannon enters his third season with the Hoosiers after playing for Guerin Catholic High School and joining as a walk-on in 2022. With Guerin Catholic, Cannon played in 11 games during his senior season and made 45 total tackles, including five for loss and 1.5 sacks. The dual sport athlete also played basketball, where he played in 37 games and averaged 3.4 points.

At the time of writing Cannon’s countdown article last season, he was listed at 253 pounds – 18 lighter than he is listed this year. Though he has yet to see game action yet in college, as he continues to gain strength, he may carve out a backup role along the defensive line. If not, he will continue to give the scout team good looks each week. He was a scout team player of the week last season and also earned Academic All-Big Ten honors.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 57 tomorrow!
