Hoosiers Offer Walk-On Spot to Tri-West Hendricks’ Mac Dutra

The talent level and ability of a team’s walk-ons can often serve as a barometer of the overall health of a college football program. These unsung heroes play a vital role in the team’s weekly preparations for an upcoming opponent. They put in just as much work, if not more in some cases than their teammates on scholarship, but do so without the fanfare and playing time. As a former walk-on at North Carolina, Indiana Head Coach Kevin Wilson is aware of the value a good group of walk-ons can bring to a team, “As we continue to improve our program with strong recruiting classes, it is also important to continue to develop our walk-on program.”

2013 Preview: Top 5 Offensive Players

2013 Preview: Top 5 Offensive Players

In 2012 the Indiana Hoosier football team had one of the most prolific offenses in the Big Ten.  Lead by a prolific passing attack, they ended up leading the conference with 311 passing yards per game.  In 2013 the Hoosiers return ten starters from their   offense that was already explosive, and will now have another year under their belt.  This should allow for individual development, as well as further cohesiveness as a unit.

Today, we will take a look at the Top-5 offensive players of the 2013 edition of the football Hoosiers.  However, if you notice one glaring omission, don't be alarmed. I am excluding the quarterbacks from this list due to the fact that the situation is still not settled yet and all three of them are good enough to be in my Top 5.  Don't fret, we will be sure to give you plenty of insight on the quarterback battle as it evolves throughout camp.

Welcome to Hoosier Huddle

Welcome to the Hoosier Huddle!  As you surely are aware, there are many sites   dedicated to Indiana University Athletics, most notably basketball.  However, while visiting these pages it has become painfully obvious that there was a gap in coverage when it comes to Indiana Football.  While it was touched upon occasionally it has generally taken a back seat.

We have set out to change the status quo.  While we understand that Indiana will always be considered a "Basketball School", that does not mean that their isn't room enough for two programs in Bloomington.

This will be a site solely dedicated to coverage, discussion and breakdown of the Indiana University Football Program.  We hope that in the coming days, months and years we can become your leading source for FREE Hoosier Football information.
