Hoosiers add Austin Peay LB Joshua Rudolph From the Portal

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The Indiana Hoosiers continued their successful phase two of their recruiting cycle with the addition of Austin Peay linebacker Joshua Rudolph. Rudolph played 18 games over two seasons with the Governors and collected 73 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss.

Rudolph is a speedy, but undersized linebacker at 5’11”and 230 pounds. Originally a three-star prospect out of Montgomery, Alabama, Rudolph played in the Mississippi-Alabama all-star game.

Against FBS teams (Western Kentucky and Alabama) in 2022 Rudolph totaled 12 tackles with one coming for a loss.

Rudolph should be able to crack the rotation at linebacker for the Hoosiers in 2023.
