In under seven weeks the Indiana Hoosiers will be kicking off their 2019 campaign against the Ball State Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium. Today’s Countdown to Kickoff featured player is Robert Tolbert, a walk-on linebacker from Murphy, Texas.

Tolbert joined the IU program during the 2018 season as a walk-on after averaging 10.5 tackles a game his final two seasons at the Episcopal School of Dallas. He also played two years of basketball. He was an All-North Zone and All-SPC selection for his performance on the field. Off the field, Tolbert excelled as well as a member of the National Honor Society.

Tolbert is a very quality walk-on and after redshirting the 2018 season, should be able to provide special teams and scout team depth.
