College Football Links (June 28, 2021)

Welcome to the new week, Hoosier fans! We’re still high off last week’s pickups—four-star cornerback Trevell Mullen, three-star linebacker Isaiah Jones, three-star quarterback Josh Hoover, and three-star offensive lineman Carter Smith. With all the visits and camps that have taken place this month, we expect to reel in more guys for the 2022 class going into the recruiting dead period. Don’t miss a commitment— Follow us on Facebook, Twitter @HoosierHuddle and Instagram @Hoosier_Huddle.

Hoosier Huddle’s Official Countdown to 2021 IU Football Kickoff continues to move along. There are exactly 68 days until the Hoosiers go head to head with the Hawkeyes in Iowa City to kick off the 2021 season. We have put together a first glance preview for the Iowa matchup, and each day until gameday we will feature a player on this year’s roster, and also remember the glorious times of some IU football greats.

If you have any links or stories you’d like to share please email them to TheHoosierHuddle@gmail.com. We have also included some favorite football reads for your off-season enjoyment.
