Great list! Most underrated is so subjective. True Hoosier fans know that Rashard Fant was an absolute dude, hard for me to consider him underrated because he was probably a top 3-4 player on the team each of his seasons with us. Love Boykin as the '25 team's defensive representative. If I had to pick the offensive player it'd probably be Riley Nowakowski, but again I feel like most die hards know how valuable he was. The other one would maybe be Ajaini due to the multiple positions he played on the O-Line and him stepping up big when guys were banged up. The other defender I'd probably call out from the '25 team would be Ro Hardy. Maybe not the best pick bc he led the team in sacks, but I think he gets overlooked a bit due to Fish and the emergence of Bones Jones. I expect him to contend for the Butkus award this season.

@hoosiernation1887 It is. My list may have been different than @evanalvarez8 's, but it makes for great discussion and brings up players we haven't thought about in a long time.

This was so much fun to write! Thanks for reading, everyone. If there are any inclusions/exclusions you're thinking of, let me know! Happy to explain my reasoning and chat!
