2022 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 25 Days (Deland McCullough II)

Written by: Zach Greene

Welcome,  Hoosiers fans to the 2022 Hoosier Huddle Countdown! We countdown from 100 days to the beginning of the 2022 Indiana University football season on September 2nd against the Fighting Illini. Every day, we look at players on the current roster and highlight the players' roles in the upcoming season. Today, we look at one of the me in the Indiana Football Family Deland McCullough II

Name: Deland McCullough II

Hometown: Bloomington, Indiana

Position: Safety

Height/Weight: 6-1/ 202

McCullough was just granted a medical waiver to end his football career with the Hoosiers. Although he won’t be taking the field this season, he still will be working with the program. McCullough II has always shown a strong heart and willingness to stick with family. He transferred from the Miami Ohio Program prior to the 2021 season to be with his dad Deland McCullough (father) who was in charge of the running backs. He along with his younger brother Desan McCullough will both be with the Hoosiers program. Desan is one of the highest-rated recruits ever for the Hoosiers and is expected to have a big role this upcoming season.

It’s awesome to see McCullough II staying in the program. He will be working with the secondary and his guidance will be great for the young players in the program. To add, having a mentor like him will benefit Desan greatly. Expect McCullough II  on the sidelines this upcoming season.
