When the Hoosiers inked offensive lineman Dan Feeney as a member of their 2012 recruiting class, they knew they had a special player. Feeney would finish his Indiana football career a step above special. Feeney attended Carl Sandburg High School, and was ranked the 82nd best offensive tackle in the country by 247 Sports. The Chicagoland native was a rock in college, starting in 46 games during his tenure at IU. Feeney anchored an Indiana offensive line that paved the way for some of the most prolific offenses in school history. He played a vital role in the success of Tevin Coleman, Jordan Howard, Nate Sudfeld, and more. Feeney allowed just two sacks in 3,355 snaps throughout his entire career in Bloomington. A remarkable statistic, and a testament to his dedication to consistency.

The two-star recruit who went unnoticed had back-to-back outstanding seasons at UAB before the school suddenly shut down football operations. Forced to transfer, Howard found a home in Bloomington. Former running backs coach Deland McCullough, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, enticed Howard to continue his collegiate career at IU. The timing was perfect because McCullough needed a runner capable of replacing Tevin Coleman. Howard proved he was more than capable of filling the void shortly after he arrived on campus.
