Indiana University’s football program does not have the greatest history around. I don’t know if anyone can dispute that. However, as the world now knows, 2024 was different. The Hoosiers were dominant! The Hoosiers put together their best season in program history behind the incredible Curt Cignetti at the helm! Beyond all the accolades and limelight, which are all immensely deserved by the way, this historic turnaround will only continue to be a turnaround if consistency develops year after year. One huge piece to consistency is how effective you are in the trenches each season.

2024 was a historic campaign for the Indiana Hoosiers. IU was 11-2 and made the College Football Playoff, ultimately losing to Notre Dame in South Bend. A large portion of the success in year number one of the Curt Cignetti era could be attributed to very successful additions from the transfer portal.
