Countdown to 2019 IUFB Kickoff: 68 Days (Hunter Littlejohn)

Written by Evan McShane (@veryreasonable)

#68 Hunter Littlejohn (Fifth Year Senior)

Height: 6’3”

Weight: 311 Pounds

Hometown: Powell, Ohio

Position: Offensive Lineman (Center)

Hunter Littlejohn made his way to Bloomington from Powell, Ohio, where he played football and baseball for Olentangy Liberty High School. Littlejohn first made his mark on Indiana as a redshirt sophomore in 2017. He started all 12 games at center, was offensive player of the week against Rutgers, and earned an Academic All-Big Ten selection. As a redshirt junior, Littlejohn played in all 12 games under center, starting four of them. He allowed just three sacks in over 900 snaps. Littlejohn played a major role guiding Indiana’s offense to a top-three ranking in the conference each of the last two seasons.

Littlejohn will likely man the center position once again in 2019 as he prepares for his fifth and final college football season. His success and stability at the position is a key factor in making Indiana’s offense click. With his presence, the quarterback is instantaneously more comfortable, and the timing and rhythm of the offense is more fluid. Littlejohn will look to end his Hoosier career with a bang. Standing 6-foot-3, 311-pounds, Littlejohn has the size and body type for a chance at a professional career. If he plays his cards right, Littlejohn could catch the eye of NFL scouts. For now, Indiana fans will enjoy watching Hunter Littlejohn man the center position for one more year.
