  Indiana coach Tom Allen has been hosting players at his house by position group this summer and posting group photos on his Twitter account. On Thursday night, he hosted the wide receivers, which led to him formally confirming former Lawrence North star Donaven McCulley has joined that position group after starting four games at quarterback for IU last season. The move was initially reported in June when IU play-by-play man Don Fischer said McCulley would move during a radio interview.

Allen told IndyStar the decision to move was actually McCulley's idea. The 6-5, 210-pounder has had an interest in the position for years, Allen said, and believed it would be his quickest path to playing time this season with there being extensive competition at quarterback, with the addition of Missouri transfer Connor Bazelak and return of a healthy Jack Tuttle. Allen said he was thrilled with the move, as McCulley's length, athleticism and skill set gives him the opportunity to make an immediate impact. The Hoosiers lost their two starting outside wide receivers in Ty Fryfogle and Miles Marshall. McCulley is expected to compete for those spots along with North Carolina transfer Emery Simmons and junior college transfer Cam Camper among others. - Indianapolis Star/News

  After being forced by injuries into starting at quarterback as a true freshman, Indiana sophomore and former Lawrence North star Donaven McCulley may be making a position change. IU play-by-play announcer Don Fischer appeared on Indiana Sports Talk on 107.5 FM The Fan last week and was asked about the quarterback position. Fischer said the Hoosiers had decided to move McCulley to receiver. An IU spokesman said Friday the program would have no comment and would neither confirm nor deny that McCulley had been moved.

He is still listed as a quarterback on IU's roster. "They've taken Donaven McCulley out of the quarterback role and they moved him to wide receiver," Fischer said on the radio show. "I think you're going to see some spectacular things out of this kid before he's done at Indiana. He's a terrific athlete. He's 6-5. He can really, really run. That's one thing he did last year when he was called upon to play at quarterback." Without addressing McCulley's status specifically, IU coach Tom Allen said in an interview with the Herald-Times and IndyStar in May the quarterback competition had been narrowed to two men - Missouri transfer Connor Bazelak and fifth-year senior Jack Tuttle. - Indianapolis Star/News

  The Red Raiders have a need at wide receiver. Erik Ezukanma and Kaylon Geiger were the only two players to catch more than 40 passes last season and are now both in the NFL. Myles Price is the most proven returner, who caught 38 passes for 523 yards last season. But outside of Price, the Red Raiders don't return anyone who caught more than 20 passes last season. There's some good options, but a playmaker is going to need to step up. - Dallas Morning News

  Former Alabama walk-on cornerback Brylan Lanier, who entered the transfer portal after one season, announced his commitment to Indiana on Friday. The graphic posted on social media includes a picture of his son wearing his helmet as he appearances in a Hoosiers uniform. Lanier did not appear in game action for Alabama over his one season, but did earn the respect of the staff before entering the transfer portal and ultimately decided to leave. Despite walking on at Alabama, Lanier ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 1,295 overall prospect in the 2021 On3 Consensus. The local product played high school football just a few minutes away from Tuscaloosa at Paul W. Bryant and ranked No. 53 in the state. - Brylan Lanier's Twitter

  Shaun Shivers, nicknamed "the worm", and Josh Henderson are two transfers from Power 5 schools expected to contribute immediately in the run game. At 5-foot-7 and 190 pounds, Shivers is a versatile back with 1,020 career rushing yards on 5.1 yards per carry in three seasons at Auburn. Shivers also can catch the ball out of the backfield, with 38 catches for 211 yards and one TD in his career. - Herald Bulletin

  At 6-foot-7, 290 pounds, Lang has always had the prototypical NFL body. He's got the skills, too, but needs more production. He said this spring his main objective is to produce more impact plays. He has 9.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in his career. If he has a highly productive senior year, he could be high on the NFL radar. - AP College Football

  D.J. Matthews didn't take part in spring drills after tearing his ACL in IU's 33-31 win at Western Kentucky last Sept. 25. Matthews showed speed and big-play potential in four games for IU last season, finishing with 13 catches for 165 yards and one rushing TD against Cincinnati. - Herald Bulletin

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: DL JH Tevis, senior. The Hoosiers need to punch up their play after finishing last in the league in sacks. Tevis impressed with his high energy and leadership this spring after transferring from California, where he started 15 of 20 games and totaled 60 tackles and 8.5 for loss in three seasons. - AP College Football

  California transfer J.H. Tevis has impressed coaches this spring with his playmaking ability on the field and his leadership intangibles off the field. The 6-foot-4, 281-pound Tevis posted three sacks and 8.5 tackles in three seasons with the Golden Bears. "His work ethic is off the chart," Randolph said. "He loves playing football. That is evident when you see him in practice every day. His thing, also, is 'I am going to be high energy, practice hard, work hard and I will show you how we do things." - Herald Bulletin

  Tom Allen went into the offseason believing the Hoosiers needed a lot more length and girth in the front of the defense and he went out and got that. In Patrick Lucas and LeDarrius Cox, he brought in two 300-pound plus tackles from Ole Miss to work with returners Demarcus Elliott and Sio Nofoagatoto'a in the interior. Dominick James, a 6-2, 293-pound freshman from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. who had offers from Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State among other powerhouses, has proven to be a playmaker in the early going and could be an immediate part of the defensive tackle rotation. The best bet to start immediately, though, is California transfer JH Tevis. The defensive end role is open with Ryder Anderson out of eligibility after one season with the Hoosiers in which he finished second on the team in both sacks and tackles for loss. The 6-4, 281-pound Tevis doesn't bring the same length as the 6-6 Anderson, but he could also bring some pass rush skill and ability to set the edge. The coaching staff has also been impressed by the leadership of Tevis, who picked IU so he could pursue an MBA in the Kelley School of Business. - Indianapolis Star/News

  With Armani Rogers gone, the dual-quarterback system that the Bobcats clung to over the past two seasons has been thrown out the window. However, that might not be a detriment. Kurtis Rourke, who will likely become Ohio's lone starting quarterback next season, can benefit from the extra time on the field. He's already been allotted more snaps during spring practices. Ohio's other quarterbacks, like C.J. Harris and Callum Wither, each took their fair share of snaps Saturday, but Rourke was on the field for the majority of practice. His position as next year's starter is nearly set in stone. Albin believes Rourke has been due for more responsibility and was impressed with his performance throughout spring ball. "He had a really good spring, as he should, because he's at the next step," Albin said. "He got a lot of experience. He did it all through spring ball, and he finished today. I thought he had a good day." - The Post

  The Hoosiers' leading returning rusher among running backs is walk-on Charlie Spegal, who finished with 62 yards on 19 carries last season. They addressed the position in both the transfer portal and high school recruiting and liked what they saw in the spring. The 5-7, 190-pound Shivers left Auburn because he found himself pigeon-holed in a third-down role, and wanted to prove that he can be an every-down back. In the spring, he showed toughness in between the tackles and breakaway speed. "He continues to just show who he is," Allen said. - Indianapolis Star/News
