Countdown to 2026 Indiana Football- Jackson Tolle

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff is over halfway complete! As Curt Cignetti and his staff gear up for chapter three in Bloomington with another championship as the end goal, we at Hoosier Huddle continue with one of our favorite offseason content traditions, the countdown to kickoff. Over the 100 days leading up to opening kickoff, we will highlight each player from this season’s roster. Today, we’ll highlight a new player to this year’s team, Jackson Tolle.

Height: 6’0”

Weight: 220 pounds

Hometown: Fishers, Indiana

Class/Position: Freshman/Long Snapper

If you don’t think special teams is an important part of the game, ask Mikail Kamara his favorite play of the national championship game. Today, we’ve got a member of that special teams unit, Jackson Tolle. Tolle joins the Hoosiers as a true freshman from right up I-69 at Hamilton Southeastern High School. Tolle committed to Indiana back in June of 2025 as the number two nationally ranked long snapper per Kohl’s Snapping Camps. Kohl’s specializes in evaluating kickers, punters, and long snappers, and had this to say about Tolle:

“Tolle is a rare prospect as he is already one of the best in the country and still has room to develop. Tolle finished with the top overall charting score in the country amongst over 200 snappers at both the 2024 Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp and the 2024 Winter Showcases. At the 2025 Kohl’s Underclassman Challenge, he won the final snapping competition by drilling a .66-second snap time right through the middle of the target. Not only is he one of the best snappers in America but he also has run a 4.98-second 40-yard dash.

He has zero wasted movement and easily snaps a college-level ball. The tighter his spiral gets, the easier the ball will be to catch for the punter. He’s the type of Long Snapper who can snap for a long time. Tremendous Long Snapper with simply massive upside. Dominant on and off the field.”
