Eli Jochem comes from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania and is entering his fourth season with the Hoosiers. Jochem had an outstanding high school career winning a state title in 2020. The individual awards were there as well as Jochem earned 2020 All-PA First Team honors as well as being named a Tribune-Review All-Star. He graduated as Pine-Richland’s all-time leader in receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns in a single season.

While he has not seen any playing time at IU, Jochem has taken home multiple scout team honors. Under a new coaching staff, the hope is Jochem can earn his way onto the field via special teams or some time on offense, although the wide receiver room is very deep and talented.
