Hoosiers Spring Football Preview: Noah Pierre's Return Anchors the Husky Position

Hoosiers Spring Football Preview: Noah Pierre's Return Anchors the Husky Position

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

The “Husky” position is not unique to Indiana’s football program but it is a type of player that not every defense plays.

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.

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.
