The Indiana Hoosiers entered the 2021 season opener at Iowa with a national ranking, high expectations and lots of attention centered on how they would follow up their exceptional 2020 campaign.

Big Ten Football Media Day takes place this upcoming week (July 26/27th) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. This is an annual event that all Big Ten teams participate in. The team will be represented by their head coaches along with three players. The Hoosiers will be up on Day 1 of the Media Days.

State of the Room- IUFB Linebackers
Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)
The Indiana Hoosiers will have to replace the heart and soul of their linebacker room and defense as Micah McFadden is off to chase his NFL dreams. The Hoosiers will also be under the new direction of defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Chad Wilt.
