  09/01/25 - Josh Hoover, rSr/2027, Indiana, 6-1, 205 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Bud Clark had a first-half pick-six and Kevorian Barnes had a 75-yard touchdown run on the first second-half snap to help TCU spoil Bill Belichick's college coaching debut by rolling past North Carolina 48-14 on Monday night. The 73-year-old Belichick had won six Super Bowl titles in a 24-year run as head coach of the NFL's New England Patriots. His Tar Heels (0-1) scored on the game's first possession, but the Horned Frogs steadily took control to drive a full-house hostile crowd to the exits well before the fourth quarter.

Clark's 25-yard return late in the second was the first of two defensive touchdowns for the Horned Frogs (1-0), the other being Devean Deal's 37-yard scoop-and-score in the third. TCU's Josh Hoover threw for two scores while Jordan Dwyer finished with nine catches for 136 yards and a 27-yard first-quarter TD. Trent Battle added his own score by running untouched around the left side for 28 yards as TCU built a 41-7 lead. Caleb Hood ran for a score for the Tar Heels' first touchdown under Belichick. South Alabama transfer quarterback Gio Lopez completed 4 of 10 passes for 69 yards before exiting the game after halftime with a back injury. TCU outgained UNC 542-222 in total offense. - TCU/AP College Football

  09/01/25 - Bryson Bonds, rSr/2026, Indiana, 6-0, 202 (DS#999 SS) + More +

  Indiana's secondary depth took two hits in Saturday's season-opening 27-14 victory over Old Dominion, coach Curt Cignetti confirmed Monday. Cignetti said defensive back Bryson Bonds suffered a season-ending right knee injury and defensive back Byron Baldwin Jr. also got hurt though his undisclosed injury is "more day to day." Bonds did not win a starting job in his sixth college season but was expected to play a key role again this season for No. 20 Indiana. He had appeared in 37 of 38 games since returning from another season-ending injury early in the 2021 season. He played high school football in Fort Worth, Texas. Bonds was injured late in the first half of Indiana's ninth straight home win, 27-14, under Cignetti. Bonds stayed down after the play as trainers examined his right leg and eventually was taken straight to the locker room. - AP College Football

  08/30/25 - Fernando Mendoza, rJr/2026, Indiana, 6-5, 236 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Fernando Mendoza scored on a 5-yard run in his debut as Indiana's quarterback, Jonathan Brady returned a punt 91 yards for a score, and the 20th-ranked Hoosiers wore down Old Dominion in a season-opening 27-14 victory on Saturday. Mendoza, the starter at California last season, finished 18 of 31 for 193 yards and ran six times for 34 yards. His TD run late in the first half gave the Hoosiers a 17-7 lead. Indiana's 309-yard rushing attack was led by Maryland transfer Roman Hemby, who had 23 carries for 110 yards. Kaelon Black added 92 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

Indiana won its ninth straight home game to improve to 9-0 at Memorial Stadium under second-year coach Curt Cignetti - but not without some stress. Old Dominion started fast, with quarterback Colton Joseph faking out the Hoosiers' defense on the first offensive play of the game and sprinting 75 yards for a TD, and the Monarchs controlled most of the first quarter. Brady's punt return tied the game with 9 seconds left in the period. Joseph added a 78-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter that got ODU within 27-14. He finished with a career-high 179 yards rushing on 10 carries and went 11 of 22 through the air for 96 yards and three interceptions. But the Monarchs couldn't get the late stop they needed to make it a one-possession game. Indiana scored just 20 points - two touchdowns and two field goals - on six trips inside the Old Dominion 10-yard line. The Hoosiers turned it over on downs the other two times. - Indiana/AP College Football

  08/28/25 - Preston Zachman, rSr/2027, Indiana, 6-2, 212 (DS#18 SS) + More +

  Preston Zachman intercepted two passes to lead Wisconsin's dominant defensive effort as the Badgers withstood an injury to quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. and opened their season by beating Miami (Ohio) 17-0 on Thursday. Wisconsin's first shutout since a 38-0 victory over Western Illinois in 2022 enabled the Badgers to turn the page after a disappointing finish to their 2024 season. The Badgers lost their last five games a year ago to finish 5-7, ending a string of 22 straight winning seasons and bowl appearances.

Now the Badgers await word on Edwards, who suffered a lower-body injury in the second quarter. Edwards limped after making a handoff, headed to the injury tent and eventually went into the locker room. He wore sweats as he watched the second half from the sideline. Edwards was making his Wisconsin debut after throwing for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns for Maryland last season. Wisconsin led 3-0 at the time of his exit. Danny O'Neil, who started 11 games for San Diego State as a freshman last season, took over for Edwards and went 12 of 19 for 120 yards with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Vinny Anthony as well as an interception. O'Neil also scored on a 1-yard run. - Wisconsin/AP College Football

  08/31/24 - Ty Son Lawton, rSr/2025, Indiana, 5-09, 208 (DS#44 RB) + More +

  Ty Son Lawton rushed for two scores in the first half, Kurtis Rourke threw for another score and the new-look Indiana Hoosiers pulled away from Florida International 31-7 in Saturday's season opener. Lawton carried 16 times for 74 yards in his first game with the Hoosiers (1-0). Rourke finished 15 of 24 with 180 yards in his Indiana debut, and Curt Cignetti became the first Hoosiers head coach to win his first game since 2007. The Panthers (0-1) have lost five straight and eight of their last nine dating to last season, falling to 0-13 all-time against Big Ten schools.

Keyone Jenkins completed 20 of 29 passes for 129 yards with one interception and hooked up with Rocky Beers for a 7-yard TD pass in the final minute of the first half for Florida International's only score. Beers left the game with a hamstring injury after the score and was ruled out of the game in the second half. Indiana sealed it with a 51-yard TD run from Elijah Green with 1:06 to play. - AP College Football

  08/31/24 - Josh Hoover, rSr/2027, Indiana, 6-1, 205 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Josh Hoover threw for 353 yards and the go-ahead touchdown with 3:13 to play to lead TCU to a 34-27 victory over Stanford in the season opener for both teams on Friday night. "We talked a lot about about being mentally tough," coach Sonny Dykes said. "I thought we were. We got down and guys never blinked. When we had to get stops defensively, we got them. When we had to score touchdowns at the end on offense, we scored touchdowns." After Stanford (0-1) took the lead midway through the fourth quarter following a missed field goal by the Horned Frogs (1-0), Hoover engineered an efficient 74-yard drive to give TCU the win.

He completed all six passes for 67 yards, capping it with a 4-yard TD to Jack Bech that gave the Horned Frogs a 27-24 lead they didn't relinquish. Hoover also threw a TD pass on the opening drive of the game and scored on a 1-yard sneak in the third quarter. "These are the ones I love," Hoover said about the late-game drive. "In my entire life, I felt like I've been a guy that lives for those situations. I think we learned a lot from those situations we had last year, and we worked on it all season. Tonight, you saw what happened. We went down there and scored when we needed to." Cam Cook put the game away with a 7-yard TD run with 1:51 to play. That all led to a 10th straight home loss for the Cardinal, who are still seeking their first win at Stanford Stadium under second-year coach Troy Taylor after going 0-7 last season. - AP College Football

  12/27/23 - James Evans, Sr/2025, Indiana, 6-1, 219 (DS#17 P) + More +

  2023 ALL-BIG TEN HONORABLE MENTION: ST James Evans,...With a punting average of 45.8 yards per punt, Evans set the Indiana single season record by one yard per punt, blasting past Drew Hagan's mark of 44.8 in 1999. Of his 57 punts, 22 traveled over 50 yards, with a long punt of 70 yards. His punting average ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten and No. 15 nationally. A three-year anchor on special teams, he owns 201 punts in his career and is just the fifth Hoosier to reach the 200-punt mark in a career. With a career 43.9 yards per punt average, Evans ranks No. 1 on Indiana's career charts, more than a full yard ahead of Alan Sutkowski (42.5 ypp; 1995-97). Evans is the first Indiana punter to earn All-B1G honors since Hagan was a first-team honoree during the 1999 season.

With his kickoff return touchdown at Purdue, Lucas is tied for the lead among active FBS returners with three career kickoff return touchdowns, which ties Marcus Thigpen (2005-08) for the IU career record. His career kickoff return yardage total of 1,163 ranks No. 10 all-time at Indiana, as well as No. 22 among active NCAA returners and second among non-upperclassmen. In 2023, Lucas finished with 1,108 all-purpose yards, the most in a season since Stevie Scott III (1,223) in 2018. His total included 572 kickoff return yards, 275 rushing yards, 247 receiving yards and 14 punt return yards. He accounted for five total touchdowns - 1 return, 2 rushing and 2 receiving - and led the team with 101 offensive touches during the season. - Indiana Football

  12/27/23 - Andre Carter, rSr/2024, Indiana, 6-4, 285 (DS#43 DT) + More +

  2023 ALL-BIG TEN HONORABLE MENTION: Andre Carter,...Carter was among the most disruptive defensive linemen in the Big Ten and finished his one season on campus with 49 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Per Pro Football Focus, Carter ranked No. 8 in the Big Ten in total pressures (sacks, hits and hurries) at 32 and his 697 total snaps played were No. 4 among Big Ten defensive linemen. In 12 games played, Carter had at least 1.0 tackles for loss in seven games and posted four games with multiple tackles behind the line of scrimmage. The Detroit, Michigan, native began the season with 2.0 tackles for loss in each of the first two games. That total was the best start to a season since 2004 when Kyle Killion posted 5.5 tackles for loss in games versus Central Michigan and Oregon. - Indiana Football

  12/27/23 - Aaron Casey, rSr/2024, Indiana, 6-1, 230 (DS#20 ILB) + More +

  2023 ALL-BIG TEN SECOND TEAM: Aaron Casey, Indiana,...Casey was among the nation's best at the linebacker position with 109 tackles on the season, which included a Big Ten-best 20.0 tackles for loss - a total that ranked No. 2 in the FBS at the end of the regular season. The only FBS defender with multiple games of 4.0 tackles for loss or more, Casey ranked No. 2 nationally in TFLs, while his 19 solo tackles for loss led the nation. In 2023, Casey led the Big Ten and ranked No. 2 nationally in tackles for loss (20.0) and solo tackles (78). His 109 total tackles sit No. 4 in the Big Ten and No. 23 in the FBS and mark the first 100-tackle season by an IU defender since Tegray Scales (126) in 2016. He led the Power 5 with 22 tackles for loss or no gain per Pro Football Focus.

His 20.0 tackles for loss are tied for No. 4 on the single season charts with Nathan Davis (1995) and were the most by an IU defender since Scales' 23.5 in 2016. Of his 20.0 tackles for loss, 19 of those were solo TFLs, which led the FBS. His career total of 36.0 tackles for loss finished No. 8 all-time at IU, just one behind Micah McFadden's career total (37.0). Casey is the 12th linebacker in Indiana history to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors and the third since 2017. He joins Scales (2017) and Micah McFadden (2020) as the most recent to win the award. In 2023, Casey was the first IU defender to earn multiple Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week awards in a career and gave IU two defensive weekly award winners for just the second time in a single season. - Indiana Football
