The 2018 season is nearly upon us! Training camp has begun and the Hoosiers are preparing for what they hope is a return to a bowl game. One feature of our preview coverage is going in-depth on each position group and today, we look at a group that must replace a pair of terrific starters. The hope is that the improved depth and young talent will help overcome the loss of Tegray Scales and Chris Covington. Today, we look at linebacker.

There is no denying that Tegray Scales and Chris Covington will both be missed. Tom Allen acknowledged the team was now for players to step up and seize those roles. “You love them and they’re game changers for us and our program for sure. Tegray was one of the major catalysts for our turnaround defensively, but they’re gone,” Allen said at IU’s Media Day. “It’s bittersweet, you know. They’re just awesome young men, and I love being around them. But, you know their time has come here, and they’re now playing for two NFL teams, which is great. But that means someone’s got to rise up.”

In order for the Indiana Hoosiers to get over the hump this season, they need to continue to improve on special teams. Last season, they were great in almost every aspect except kick return. This year the Hoosiers have to replace All-Big Ten kicker Griffin Oakes, which will be difficult. Along with finding a place kicker the Hoosiers must find a kick returner who can bring something, heck anything, to the table. So with William Inge taking over the full-time special teams coordinator duties, let’s take a look at the third unit of Indiana football.
