Hendershot was sentenced to a year probation, along with the requirement that he receive a mental health evaluation and participate in a batterers treatment program. - Indianapolis Star/News

Indiana athletics has made clear to its student-athletes that they will not lose their scholarships if they choose not to compete due to COVID-19 concerns. In an email Tuesday from outgoing athletic director Fred Glass and incoming AD Scott Dolson, athletes received an outline of what to expect as they return to campus. It was stressed that workouts are currently "strictly voluntary," but it's also an athlete's choice whether or not to compete at all. "If notwithstanding the protocols of the Restart Plan you are unwilling to participate in intercollegiate athletics because of concerns about COVID-19, we will continue to honor your scholarship," the email reads. "This is your decision based on medical considerations. If after discussing your concerns with the Chief Medical Officer you do not want to participate in intercollegiate athletics, we will still honor your scholarship."

COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the United States, with case numbers spiking significantly in several states. IU's football team returned to campus earlier this month, along with the men's and women's basketball programs. In an initial round of 187 tests, IU reported that no one tested positive for COVID-19. But that's not been the case everywhere. At Clemson, 37 football players have tested positive. A week ago, it was reported more than 30 members of LSU's football team were quarantined following positive COVID-19 results. - Indianapolis Star/News

06/01/20 - Dylan Powell, rSr/2022, Indiana, 6-3, 308 (DS#75 OG) + More +

Indiana offensive lineman Dylan Powell announced Monday that the NCAA has approved his waiver for a sixth year of eligibility. Powell, a grad transfer from Stanford, sat out the 2019 season with a labrum tear. He also redshirted his freshman season in 2016, which made him eligible to seek a sixth year. When the Hoosiers coaching staff recruited Powell, they expected to have him for two years.

Powell should help the Hoosiers solidify the interior of their offensive line, especially following the graduation of center Hunter Littlejohn and guard Simon Stepaniak from the 2019 roster. In the spring, the 6-foot-3, 300-pounder from Hannibal, Mo., was practicing at guard, but he also has the ability to play center. Senior Harry Crider, who played left guard last season, can also play center. In 2018, Powell started three games for the Cardinal and appeared in 11 total, playing both guard and center. - Indianapolis Star/News

05/29/20 - Khameron Taylor, rSr/2023, Indiana, 6-4, 261 (DS#999 TE) + More +

When Khameron Taylor signed as a graduate transfer to play tight end at Indiana last week, one of the first texts he sent was to his former high school football coach. Bill Wiles, Taylor's coach at Santa Fe High School in Alachua, Florida, saw potential in the then 6-foot-4, 250-pound Taylor from the moment he convinced the high school basketball standout to give football a try. "I told him, I understand you might want to be LeBron James," said Wiles, now the head coach at nearby Trenton High. "But you also, you might be Gronk, you know? So give it a shot." Sings of becoming an NFL All-Pro tight end like Rob Gronkowski weren't apparent initially. Taylor didn't take to football right away - the demanding workouts in the Florida humidity, the conditioning, lifting weights. There were days, Taylor admitted, that Wiles had to pick him up to convince him to practice.

But Division I South Alabama took a chance on Taylor, based on his size and upside. At first, the school thought Taylor could develop into a rangy offensive tackle. Instead, Taylor stuck as a 270-pound run-blocking tight end in South Alabama's balanced offense. After catching his first career TD pass last season against Nebraska, Taylor is now out to prove he can evolve into a complete tight end with the Hoosiers. "When I got to college, I could see what I could really do, the player I could become and what I could become in the future and provide for family," Taylor said. "It kind of pushed me, pushed me to grow and it just made me think it's bigger than me. I've got an opportunity to do something great, so why not give it my all." - Herald Bulletin

Just look at the numbers, and Khameron Taylor's profile screams "blocking tight end." Indiana's graduate transfer from South Alabama is currently listed at 6-foot-4, 270 pounds. Throwing the ball wasn't necessarily a staple of the Jaguars' offense, either, as their passing leader had 900 yards in 2019. Taylor accounted for 18 of those yards receiving - on just two grabs. While Taylor's willingness to be that blocking tight end helps him fit right in with a Hoosier offense that's trying to better establish the run, don't let his current profile fully shape the conversation. He may be just 15 pounds shy of the lighter end of the offensive line spectrum. But Taylor thinks removing 15 pounds may be his best route toward making an impact in his final collegiate season. "I think I just need the opportunity," Taylor said. "I didn't at South (Alabama) get to run a lot of routes...I'm gonna make the most of the play when it comes my way. "I could play at 260, I could play at 270, but 255 is where I feel the fastest, where I feel good." - Indianapolis Star/News

Vavae Malepeai and Stephen Carr are back for their senior seasons. Carr returns after rushing 72 times for 396 yards and five touchdowns as a junior after missing three games with a hamstring injury. About 45 percent of his yards came in two games, a 94-yard performance at Washington and an 87-yard game against UCLA. Carr might have been asked to do more last season had his injury not coincided with Malepeai's. - Orange County Register

05/20/20 - Khameron Taylor, rSr/2023, Indiana, 6-4, 261 (DS#999 TE) + More +

The Indiana Hoosiers added graduate transfer Khameron Taylor to their football roster, they announced Wednesday. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound tight end from South Alabama provides experience and depth behind incumbent starter Peyton Hendershot. Taylor will be eligible to play immediately after graduating earlier this month with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. "Other than Peyton, we have a young group that needs some depth," coach Tom Allen said in a statement. "Kham is a big, strong blocker with untapped potential in the pass game. He has a great combination of size, length and athleticism that immediately helps us become a better football team." Taylor started nine games last season for the Jaguars and caught two passes for 18 yards and one touchdown. In 2018, he caught five passes for 67 yards. He played high school football in Florida. - AP College Football
