Reigning Big Ten Wide Receiver of the Year Ty Fryfogle Returning for Fifth Year

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

One of the bigger decisions to be made regarding Indiana football was made on Friday night as Ty Fryfogle, reigning Big Ten WR of the Year has opted to return to the Hoosiers for a fifth season. He made his announcement of Twitter.

First, I would like to thank God for an opportunity to play football & earn a degree from Indiana University. This year has been filled with many unknowns and ups and downs, but I found a way to make the best of it.

I have been presented with the opportunity to declare for the NFL draft. However, after long talks with my mom, family, friends, and coaches I have decided to return for my last year of eligibility at Indiana University.

My work here at Indiana University is not yet finished. There are many great things in store for this football team in 2021, the future is very bright and I am excited to be a part of it. #LEO

Yours Truly.

Fryfogle made 37 catches for 721 yards and seven touchdowns. He was also the first receiver in Big Ten history to record back-to-back 200-yard receiving games.
