2025 IUFB Preseason Position Previews: Safeties (& Rover)
Let’s take a gander at how the safeties depth chart looks entering the 2025 season
Spring Football 2025 – Safeties and Rover Preview, Depth Chart and Superlatives
Hoosier Huddle is gearing up for the spring with individual position group previews. Today, we examine two more parts of IU’s talented secondary: safeties and rovers. The Hoosiers lost quite a bit to graduation after last season, mainly the rock-steady Terry Jones and Shawn Asbury. However, Amare Ferrell returns and the group was bolstered by the addition of North Carolina State transfer Devan Boykin and returning Hoosier and Ole Miss transfer Louis Moore.

By: Nick Gonzales
After an exciting season under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti, the Indiana Hoosiers are striving for more success for the upcoming 2025 season. The Hoosiers have had yet another successful recruitment period – bringing in 19 new transfers into the program while also retaining a lot of key players.
Safety Louis Moore Returns to Indiana
Louis Moore, a former Indiana Hoosier safety, is returning to the team for the 2025 season after a stint at Ole Miss. Despite an injury in 2023, he played a significant role in the Rebels’ secondary. His experience reinforces Indiana’s defense, with plans to add more transfer safeties for depth.

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 “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.
2022 Indiana Football Positional Preview: Defensive Backs
Written by Matt Smith
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.
