The Indiana Hoosiers were expected to have a very strong secondary in 2022. IU returned a number of seniors at safety, corner and Husky and most dubbed the group to be the Hoosiers best position group on the team. Injuries and blown assignments mounted and the season would have to be categorized as a disappointment for Indiana’s secondary. Players like Tiawan Mullen, Monster Matthews, Jaylin Williams and Bryant Fitzgerald have exhausted eligibility and moved on, leaving an uncertain and rebuilt position group for 2023. One player that could have moved on chose to return and he has emerged as a leader on IU’s defense: Noah Pierre.

The “Husky” position is not unique to Indiana’s football program but it is a type of player that not every defense plays. The “Husky” is a hybrid role that really redefines the traditional nickel cornerback position. The ideal Husky needs to be part safety, part cornerback and part linebacker and finding a player with the right physical skillset and mental makeup is not easy. The Hoosiers lost Bryant Fitzgerald, a player with a ton of game experience and some time spent playing Husky, but got terrific news with the return of Noah Pierre. Heading into spring football, Noah Pierre is the only sure thing on the roster for this important position.

The Hoosier Huddle position preview continues with the defensive backs room. The defensive backs are one of the most experienced rooms for Tom Allen’s Hoosiers. With Tiawan Mullen, Noah Pierre, Jaylin Williams and others returning to the Hoosiers, the safety net of the defense will look to be one of the strongest position groups for the Hoosiers. Mullen was hurt for most of last season following a great 2020 campaign. The DBs will look to recreate the turnover success this season as the Hoosiers bounce back from a 2021 season that was not what the Hoosiers were expecting.

Among the promise of Indiana University football’s defense this year, lies a very important group of hybrid DBs. The Husky position is a hybrid safety and linebacker. Perhaps a bigger, harder hitting safety, or a quicker more agile linebacker. Both apply, and Indiana has some serious talent at the position.
