Indiana kicker Charles Campbell has had big moments in his young IU career. He booted a key field goal in the 2019 Bucket Game after Logan Justus struggled all day then booted three 50-yard plus field goals in 2020. He earned second team All-Big Ten and probably missed out on Kicker of the Year because IU scored too many touchdowns. Heading into the spring and the 2021 season, there is a real possibility Campbell will be in play not only for Big Ten Kicker of the Year, but also the Lou Groza Award that goes to the best kicker in the nation.

The Hoosiers have had a solid punter in Haydon Whitehead and place kicking had been steady with Griffin Oakes and Logan Justus until he fell apart in the last two games missing four field goals and a crucial extra point. Where the Hoosiers struggled at was in the kick and punt return department as well as just an overall coaching overhaul.
