The Indiana Hoosiers signed 23 prospects in what was a very productive, and on paper, hugely successful, National Signing Day. IU signed five prospects from Florida, four from Illinois and Tennessee, three from Indiana, two from Georgia and five from individual states. In total, they brought in 12 defensive players, eight offensive players, two athletes and a kicker. Tom Allen spoke to the assembled media about the newest Hoosiers and we’ve selected the most interesting or insightful quotes. For the full transcript, visit iuhoosiers.com.

Michael Penix QB, 6’2” 195 Pounds Tampa, FL (Tampa Bay Tech HS) 247 Composite Three-Star (87.49)
Tennessee had a wild coaching search, and that coaching search ended in a good candidate in Jeremy Pruitt. However, Pruitt started off his tenure in Knoxville by making an offer to standing commit Michael Penix “uncommittable", which essentially means he pulled the offer. Schools that were in the mix immediately began re-recruiting Penix, but it was ultimately Tom Allen and the Hoosiers that landed the stud QB over Willie Taggart and Florida State. Allen had his eye on him for a long time, but was lucky enough that the whole situation at UT went down so he could really make a move on Penix. Taggart almost offered Penix while at Oregon, but felt like it was too far distance-wise for anything to work out. He ended up getting his shot once he took the FSU job, but Penix decided that IU was the right place for him. This is an absolutely huge get for this team. With Lagow on the way out, there wasn’t going to be much depth at QB, and there is still no clear-cut starter. You have to imagine the chance to start as a true freshman was a big factor in him picking IU, but he seemed really comfortable with Allen and the staff regardless.
