Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The Indiana Hoosiers do not have too much time to celebrate their 16-0 national championship season as the sport's calendar has bled into mid-January. The Hoosiers will hold a celebration on Saturday afternoon (maybe in the snow?) at Memorial Stadium and will have several key recruiting targets in attendance. Here is who Hoosier Huddle has confirmed will be at IU's first Junior Day of 2026 (I will update as more get confirmed) Players Committed to the Hoosiers Ja'Hyde Brown, WR, Louisville, Kentucky Brown committed to IU at the Navy All-American Game and will be in Bloomington to see the championship celebration. The Louisville native chose IU over Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky and a host of other schools. He had a monster junior season for Christian Academy of Louisville scoring 24 touchdowns with 1,556 yards receiving. He is a 247Sports Composite 4-star player. Undecided Recruits Noah Glover, LB, Battlefield HS, Virginia Glover is a four-star prospect and has offers from 29 total schools including Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State. These are the deep waters IU is fishing in now. Glover plays in the middle of the field, but has the speed and agility to play in coverage and close quickly on ball carriers and get to the quarterback on blitzes. He was selected to the Under Armour All-American game. Mason Oglesby, TE, New Palestine, Indiana The New Pal tight end is one of the top players in the state and has been at IU several times this past season. He would be a building block get for the 2027 class. As a junior at New Pal Oglesby made 35 catches for 364 yards. He played both ways and made 3.5 tackles for loss as well. If the Hoosiers want to continue the winning culture that has been built in Bloomington, recruiting New Pal players is a great place to start. Mason McDermott, OT, Noblesville, Indiana McDermott is another top in-state target who has been on campus for multiple visits. He holds offers from 13 schools including Iowa and Purdue among other P4 offers. He has good hands to take on rushers and is athletic enough to move to the second level. Cole Reiter, OL, Germantown HS, Wisconsin Reiter is crystal balled to Wisconsin, but don't discount this visit to IU and getting in front of Bob Bostad. IU has the clout of winning a national championship and the individual awards like Carter Smith's Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year. Aiden O'Neil, DE, Don Bosco Prep, New Jersey O'Neil is a composite 4-star prospect out of one of the best high school football programs on the east coast in Don Bosco Prep. He holds 22 offers including ones from Penn State, Texas A&M as well as other major P4 teams. Isaac Miller, DE Catholic Memorial HS, Wisconsin Another top-10 player out of the state of Wisconsin. He has length and speed off the edge. Miller has some big time offers including Florida, Michigan Notre Dame and Ohio State. Masiia Acrey, Rover, Saint Joe's Prep, Pennsylvania Arcey is another player from a big time east coast program, this time St. Joe's Prep in Philadelphia. He has eight total offers including Syracuse, Pitt and Nebraska. Austin Coles, WR, Barrington HS, Illinois Coles has 17 offers from schools all across the country. He made 43 catches for 896 yards and six touchdowns as a junior.
