Spring Practice 2018 Position Battle: Kick Returner

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

Our next installment of the Spring Practice Preview is the position battle at kick returner. While some may scoff at this and say that kick return is just not that important or we are reaching here, there is immense value in these “hidden” yards.  According to Bill Connelly’s book Study Hall which chronicled the 2012 college football season teams that held a significant starting field position advantage tended to win the game more often than not.

2017 National Signing Day Profile: LaDamion Hunt

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

LaDamion Hunt, 6’0”, 183 pounds, Carrolton, GA (Carrolton High School), CB, 247Sports Composite Ranking: 3-star (82.43)

IU has a number of very good players in the secondary. Marcelino Ball and Zeke Walker and Ben Bach are terrific options at Husky. Jonathan Crawford, Chase Dutra, Khalil Bryant and Tony Fields are among the quality options at safety. However, they don’t have an abundance of guys that are truly “cover corners”. Rashard Fant is a lockdown senior corner that IU is very thankful to have back for the 2017 season, A’Shon Riggins emerged as a very good second corner and Tyler Green improved greatly throughout the season but the rest of the depth chart is largely unproven and the Hoosiers needed to bring in at least one cover corner in this class. IU coaches looked to the Peach State and hope they found the answer in three-star prospect LaDamion Hunt.
