  Discussions of Indiana's quarterback situation typically center on Michael Penix, and understandably so. The 6-foot-3 junior threw for more than 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns before his season was derailed by a torn ACL in November. But coach Tom Allen spotlighted another signal caller following Monday's practice: freshman Donaven McCulley. "I've really been encouraged by his growth," Allen said of the former Lawrence North star. "Even today we were able to isolate some of the things we do and could see his talent. That's shown up since the beginning...He's a very gifted player." McCulley's initial splash shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

One of the Hoosiers' top targets from the class of 2021, the four-star recruit threw for more than 2,500 yards and 22 touchdowns last fall to lead Lawrence North to its first winning season since 2005. For his career, the prolific dual-threat quarterback accumulated 6,211 passing yards, 1,274 rushing yards and 47 touchdowns. Scouting reports cited McCulley's sizable frame (6-foot-5), athleticism and arm strength as three of his biggest strengths in high school - Allen Trieu of 247 sports compares him to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs - and he's only gotten stronger since his arrival at IU, weighing in at 215 pounds. That's a "significant difference" from when he first started, Allen noted. "When you walk out there, you notice (McCulley) and the way he moves," said Allen, who also cited the freshman's quick release. "He's just trying to learn the offense." - Indianapolis Star/News
