Indiana’s run to a national title last year is one of the greatest stories in sports history. From 3-9 and the worst all-time record of any program in College Football, to an undefeated National Championship season in the span of two years. The story might not end there, however, and another chapter may be written this fall. Curt Cignetti has assembled another elite roster, one that could be capable of taking the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff for a third consecutive season. 2026 Offense: • 4🌟 TCU transfer QB Josh Hoover • 4🌟 BC transfer RB Turbo Richard • RB Khobie Martin • WR Charlie Becker • 4🌟 MSU transfer WR Nick Marsh • Tulane transfer WR Shazz Preston • WR Tyler Morris • WR Lebron Bond • WR Davion Chandler • 4🌟 Miami transfer TE Brock Schott • TE Andrew Barker Indiana’s offensive line will be one of the best in all of College Football again this fall. 2026 Offensive Line: • Carter Smith (started 41 straight games, First-Team All-American last year) • Drew Evans (started 12 games last year, started 21 career games) • Bray Lynch (started all 16 games last year, started 29 career games) • Wisconsin transfer Joe Brunner (4🌟 transfer, started 24 straight games for the Badgers) • Adedamola Ajani (Played in 12 games last year, started 4) 2026 Defense: • DL Stephen Daley • KSU transfer DL Chiddi Obiazor • 4🌟 KSU transfer DL Tobi Osunsanmi • DL Tyrique Tucker • DL Mario Landino • LB Rolijah Hardy • LB Isaiah Jones • LB Kellan Wyatt • Notre Dame transfer DL/LB Joshua Burnham • DB Jamari Sharpe • 4🌟 PSU transfer DB AJ Harris • DB Amare Ferrell • Wisconsin transfer DB Preston Zachman The Hoosiers look to exceed the “great story” and the conversation around their sudden emergence, and will try to solidify themselves as an annual contender moving forward. What do you think Indiana’s record will be?
