Trueblood is a former unranked 2020 prospect out of Bloomington that walked-on to the program. He hasn’t seen the field in his career with the Hoosiers.

He was an all-conference player running back in high school and capped off his high school career with an impressive 1,731 yards on just under 5 yards per carry. He also tallied 24 all-purpose touchdowns.

Trueblood is expected to compete for a depth spot in fall camp for the Hoosiers.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 26 tomorrow!
