College Football Links From Across the Country (6/21/21)
/College Football Links (June 21, 2021)
Happy Monday, Hoosier fans! It was a huge weekend for Tom Allen and the Hoosiers as they announced plans to allow full capacity at football games this fall and also gained commitment from four-star cornerback Trevell Mullen and three-star linebacker Isaiah Jones. With all the visits and camps taking place in June, we expect that this weekend was the first spark. Don’t miss a commitment— Follow us on Facebook, Twitter @HoosierHuddle and Instagram @Hoosier_Huddle.
Hoosier Huddle’s Official Countdown to 2021 IU Football Kickoff is 25 percent complete today. There exactly 75 days until the Hoosiers go head to head with the Hawkeyes in Iowa City to kick off the 2021 season. We have put together a first glance preview, and each day until gameday we will feature a player on this year’s roster, and also remember the glorious times of some IU football greats.
