Happy Friday, Hoosier fans! Tom Allen and coaching staff continue their roll on recruiting and picked up another massive one in four-star OL DJ Moore this week. Indiana football’s history-making 2022 recruiting class just keeps getting bigger, and Hoosier Huddle’s here to keep you updated. 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 already halfway through as of today. There are exactly 50 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 for the Iowa matchup, 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.
