As already discussed in our first edition of Recruiting Redux, the 2013 Hoosier recruiting class is the most talented to walk on the campus in at least a decade, and very possibly of all-time.  One of the things that may have drawn them to Bloomington was Kevin Wilson’s penchant for playing the best players regardless of seniority. 

While the head coach has shown that to be true during his first two years at the helm, 2013 might be a bit of a different story.  Not so much in that he won’t play the man who can do the job best, but because there are finally less spots to fight for in the lineup.  Indiana returns somewhere between 16 and 20 starters depending on varying definitions of the word, but nevertheless it’s a hefty quantity.  This being the case it will be hard for many of the true freshman to make an immediate impact anywhere outside of special teams.

There are however a certain select few that due to lack of positional depth or just plain talent will be able to jump right in.  Today we will take a look at a few of the young men who have yet to play a down of college football but could be integral pieces leading to the success of Indiana football in the 2013 season.
