Aiden Fisher: Back From Injury and Ready For Senior Day

Aiden Fisher

Indiana’s game against UCLA couldn’t have been going better for Aiden Fisher. On the second play of the game, Fisher intercepted Nico Iamaleava’s pass and returned it for a touchdown. One play later, Fisher’s fortunes completely changed, as he got rolled up on, hurting his knee and knocking him out of the rest of the game as well as the following game against Maryland.

2024 was a milestone and memorable season for the Indiana Hoosiers.

They are expected to lead the defense in 2024. The depth chart includes veterans and younger players vying for key roles in the revamped scheme.

Hoosier Huddle is getting ready for the 2024 football season and with a new coaching staff and a totally revamped roster, Indiana Hoosier fans are going to need a roster handy to track all of the new faces. Much attention has been paid to the major revamp on offense under coordinator Mike Shanahan and Tino Sunseri, including our very owner initial depth chart projection just last week. However, the defense needs to be completely rebuilt as well. Once a calling card for Tom Allen’s teams, the IU defense was a sieve for much of the past few seasons. In 2023, Indiana allowed an average of 29.9 points per game including an opposing passer rating of 143.62 and 4.19 yards per rush. There were a few bright spots here and there but the unit was a major disappointment that needs fixed.

2023 Indiana Football Positional Preview: Linebackers

As a defensive-minded head coach, linebacker has always been a position near and dear to Tom Allen’s heart. New faces are the recurring theme surrounding these positional previews this year, but Allen has composed a roster of a mix of both returnees and newcomers by way of the transfer portal in this room. If Indiana’s defensive line is as improved as we’re hearing it is, this should allow for the linebackers at the second level of the defense to get into the backfield and make some plays. The Hoosiers finished 95th nationally in tackles for loss and 104th in sacks last season, but an improved front seven led by this linebacker room could really change the complexion of this defense.
