Jordan Jakes, 6’5”, 195 pounds, McDonough, GA (St. Frances Academy, MD), RB, 247Sports Composite Ranking: 3-star (84.72)

Sometimes in the passing game, you just need a guy that can go up and get the ball over smaller cornerbacks. The Hoosiers have signed just that in big-bodied receiver Jordan Jakes. Jakes played his senior season in Baltimore, Maryland at St. Frances Academy. Jakes held 18 offers but chose the Hoosiers in August over the likes of Virginia, Michigan, and Michigan State. Despite his size, Jakes has proven he can move around at the receiver position and catch balls both on the outside and in the slot: versatility which will come in handy at the next level.

He and his staff know the Hoosiers must be stout and deep in that unit if they are to survive in the Big Ten East. While they have yet to find a true standout pass rusher, they have improved the depth and the overall skill of the defensive line and they have secured the addition of a four-star weak-side end from Carmel as Beau Robbins signed with the Hoosiers. Robbins is the fourth ranked recruit in the state and the 17th-ranked weak-side defensive end in the country.

Ivory Winters, 5’11”, 206 pounds, Hayti, MO (Hayti High School), RB, 247Sports Composite Ranking: 3-star (85.61) 

The Indiana Hoosiers know the kind of an impact an “under the radar” true freshman running back can have.
