State of the Room - IUFB Running Backs

What was supposed to be one of the deepest, most experienced, and most talented position groups for Indiana heading into the 2021 season quickly fell apart due to injury and transfers. Bringing Deland McCullough back on board to replace Mike Hart should be a great move for the program over the next few seasons, but it did make an impact on the immediate roster in 2021. McCullough is a tenacious recruiter and coached backs in the NFL as well as All-B1G backs during his first stint at IU, so he certainly knows what it takes to be a productive back in the Big Ten.

Indiana Head Coach Tom Allen and his Hoosiers closed out their fifteenth and final spring practice this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they were unable to put a bow on this portion of the offseason with a spring game we are accustomed to seeing, but the coaching staff was still able to hand out spring practice player awards. The awards were full of familiar player names: Cam Jones, Micah McFadden, Peyton Hendershot, Devon Matthews, among numerous others. Mixed in with these program stars, however, is a player not many Hoosier fans know:
