Daily College Football Links (February 5, 2021)

Happy Friday, Hoosier fans! Another week survived, and 30 weeks to go until the Hoosiers kick off the 2021 football season. This week, Tom Allen added the final touch to the 2021 signing class and the Indiana Hoosiers are chasing off-season goals, including hiring a running backs coach.

The IU football squad gained a four-star wide receiver on the second signing day this week, to add to the 14 players that also signed early in December. We have gotten to know these players and have watched them closely this year and have made profiles on each of the these guys. Get to know them here.

The Hoosiers filled one of the two holes in the coaching staff, left by running backs coach Mike Hart who left Indiana for his alma mater and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack who stepped up to the South Alabama head coach position. The former University of Georgia defensive backs coach Charlton Warren’s was hired as IU’s new defensive coordinator, but Allen has yet to hire a running backs coach. We will keep you posted on any news in the search.
