Welcome to the new week. Hoosiers fans! Tom Allen and the 2021 Indiana Hoosiers’ off-season work has started now. We are at peak time for roster changes, so as players decide to opt into the 2021 NFL draft, enter the transfer portal or return for another year at IU, Hoosier Huddle is here to keep you updated.
The IU football squad gained 14 players on early signing day. We have gotten to know these players and have watched them closely this year and have made profiles on each of the 14 guys who made their commitment official in December. Get to know them here.
