Locked On Hoosiers - Daily Podcast On Indiana Hoosiers Football & Basketball

Indiana Football beat North Texas 52-16 in Week 1, but Curt Cignetti certainly didn't sound satisfied with the Hoosiers' performance. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's reaction to Indiana's season opener and why there are plenty of areas for the Hoosiers to improve before Week 2 against Howard. From defensive miscues and open-field tackling to the running game and Josh Hoover's decision-making, Cignetti continues to hold Indiana to a championship standard. We also have important Indiana Football injury updates. AJ Harris and Jamari Sharpe are considered day-to-day, while running back Khobie Martin is expected to miss an extended period of time and potentially return around the middle of the season. Plus, we take a look around the Big Ten after a wild Week 1. Where does Indiana belong after its opening win? Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Penn State, Michigan, UCLA and more are discussed as we evaluate the early conference picture.

Curt Cignetti sent a strong message to Indiana Football after the Hoosiers’ win over North Texas — and wide receiver Davion Chandler was at the center of it. Chandler hauled in a 42-yard touchdown before spiking the football in the end zone, something Cignetti made clear does not fit the standard he expects from his program. Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti’s comments, why the moment is bigger than one celebration, and what Chandler’s response could mean moving forward. Plus, should Indiana fans actually be worried about the Hoosiers’ running game? Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. didn’t put up huge numbers against North Texas, while Khobie Martin left the game early. Jacob explains why it’s far too early to panic and why Indiana’s offensive line should continue improving. Locked On Hoosiers is your daily home for Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball.

Indiana Football opened the 2026 season with a 52-16 win over North Texas, but the final score doesn't tell the entire story. Josh Hoover and the Indiana offense showed plenty of reasons for optimism, while Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh and the Hoosiers' receiving corps flashed their massive potential. But Curt Cignetti's defense also showed several areas that need to improve before Indiana gets into the difficult portion of its schedule. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down what went right and wrong for Indiana against North Texas, the biggest improvements the Hoosiers need to make from Week 1 to Week 2, and why Indiana fans shouldn't panic after an imperfect opener. Plus, we take a trip around a wild opening weekend in the Big Ten, including Oregon's scare against Boise State, Ohio State's dominant performance and the controversial ending involving Michigan. Indiana is 1-0. There is plenty to fix. But the Hoosiers are going to be just fine.

Indiana Football opened the season with a 52-16 win over North Texas, but it wasn't a perfect afternoon for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers. On this postgame edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's Week 1 victory, beginning with a surprisingly sloppy performance from the Hoosiers defense. Missed tackles, problems stopping the run and injuries to AJ Harris and Jamari Sharpe created some early concerns despite Indiana allowing only 16 points. The offense was a completely different story. Josh Hoover was outstanding in his Indiana debut, completing 13 of 16 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns. Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker immediately showed why they could become one of the best receiver duos in the Big Ten, while Turbo Richard helped lead an impressive Indiana rushing attack. We also break down the latest injury updates from Curt Cignetti, Indiana's impressive special teams performance, the biggest likes and dislikes from Week 1 and what the Hoosiers need to clean up before Week 2. Indiana is 1-0. The offense looks dangerous. Now it's time for the defense to catch up. Topics include: Indiana beats North Texas 52-16 Concerns about the Indiana defense Josh Hoover's outstanding debut Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker Turbo Richard and Indiana's running backs AJ Harris and Jamari Sharpe injury updates Khobie Martin injury update Indiana's special teams Week 1 likes and dislikes What Curt Cignetti must fix before Week 2 Subscribe to Locked On Hoosiers for daily coverage of Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball. 00:00 Indiana vs. North Texas Recap 01:14 Defensive Struggles Spotlight 02:31 North Texas Offensive Threat 03:42 Key Defensive Injuries 05:16 Missed Tackles & Assignments 08:21 Defensive Rotation Analysis 09:01 Josh Hoover’s Breakout 12:05 Offensive Efficiency Stats 13:47 Hoover Touchdown Performance 15:14 Hoover Toughness Moment 16:22 Running Back Depth Update 17:07 Injury Updates Recap 18:49 Receiver Contributions 19:48 Offensive Line Performance 21:20 Remaining Schedule Outlook 22:32 Likes and Dislikes Segment 25:06 Heat and Player Grit 26:29 Tackling Improvement Needed 27:32 Injury Clarity Provided 28:12 Zero Turnover Highlight 29:19 Special Teams Praise 30:13 Lack of QB Pressure 31:39 Running Back Room Strength 33:01 Film Room Adjustments Needed 34:13 Perspective on Opener 35:02 Room for Improvement 35:31 Final Takeaways & Trust 36:54 Closing & Announcements Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Indiana Football has officially reached Week 1, but the Hoosiers have something massive happening off the field as well. Curt Cignetti and Indiana are expected to welcome roughly 35-40 high school recruits to Bloomington for the season opener against North Texas, including several major prospects and current Indiana commits. Jacob Goins breaks down why having committed players such as Monshun Sales and others back on campus could become another recruiting weapon for the Hoosiers. Plus, we take a closer look at two major visitors to know: 2028 EDGE Luke Nabors and 2029 linebacker Austin Phillips. Then, we react to a wild Thursday night of college football, including Colorado's win over Georgia Tech and former Indiana quarterback Alberto Mendoza, Rutgers' stunning loss to UMass, Illinois pulling away from UAB and more from Week 1. Indiana Football is back — and the defending national champions have an opportunity to make a statement both on and off the field.

Indiana Football is finally back. The defending national champion Hoosiers open the 2026 season against North Texas at Memorial Stadium, and Jacob Goins gives his official prediction for Curt Cignetti, Josh Hoover and Indiana in Week 1. Could North Texas present some challenges for the Hoosiers? Absolutely. But after everything we've heard throughout fall camp, Jacob believes Indiana is ready to come out firing and remind college football exactly why the Hoosiers are defending national champions. We break down what to expect from Josh Hoover and the Indiana offense, the Hoosiers' offensive line, the three-headed rushing attack, defensive rotations and the biggest things to watch in Week 1. Plus, we look around the Big Ten and the biggest games across college football before reacting to the chaos surrounding the SEC, LSU and Lane Kiffin.

Indiana Football opens the 2026 season against North Texas as a massive favorite — but could this actually be a trap game for Curt Cignetti and the defending national champions? On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why the uncertainty surrounding North Texas makes the Mean Green an intriguing Week 1 opponent. With a new coaching staff, a dramatically rebuilt roster and former Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson on the other side, the Hoosiers have plenty to prepare for before kickoff. We also dive into ESPN's look inside Curt Cignetti's unusual Indiana practice philosophy. Why do the Hoosiers practice for roughly 90 minutes while other programs spend significantly longer at the facility — and how has that approach helped create one of college football's most efficient programs? Finally, how quickly could Indiana climb from No. 6 to No. 1 in the country? We look at Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Notre Dame and Texas and what would need to happen for the Hoosiers to reach the top of the rankings.

Indiana Football enters the 2026 college football season as the DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPION — but are people already doubting Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers again? Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers is joined by Spencer McLaughlin of Locked On College Football to break down why Indiana is still being underestimated nationally, whether the Hoosiers can handle becoming the hunted, and why Josh Hoover doesn't need to be Fernando Mendoza for IU to contend for another national championship. They discuss Hoover taking over the Indiana offense, the importance of replacing stars like Aiden Fisher and D'Angelo Ponds, AJ Harris' potential in the secondary, Indiana's loaded wide receiver room, and the biggest questions facing the defending champs. Plus, Spencer makes his official prediction for Indiana's 2026 record and explains why he believes the Hoosiers can go 11-1 — or even 12-0.

Indiana football enters the 2026 season as the defending national champion — but can Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers do it again? On this Locked On College Crossover, Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers is joined by Brian Smith of The Portal Podcast to break down Indiana's loaded transfer portal class and whether the Hoosiers have built another championship-caliber roster. Josh Hoover takes over at quarterback, Turbo Richard joins a deep Indiana backfield, Nick Marsh adds another major weapon at wide receiver and the Hoosiers have reinforced the roster on both sides of the football. Could Turbo Richard become one of the best players in college football? Can Josh Hoover cut down the turnovers that followed him at TCU? And does Indiana have enough talent and depth to make another College Football Playoff run? Jacob and Brian also break down Indiana's difficult 2026 schedule, what would qualify as a successful season after winning the national championship, and whether a 10-2 Indiana team would be safely inside the College Football Playoff. Plus, the guys discuss the major eligibility changes across college football and why the Big Ten's decision to prevent former professional players from returning to college could set an important precedent. It's officially game week.

Indiana Football hasn't lost a game since December 2024. After an undefeated regular season, a Big Ten Championship and a perfect run through the College Football Playoff, Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers enter 2026 as the defending national champions. But eventually, Indiana is going to lose again. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins discusses what that first loss could look like, how Indiana fans will react, why the rest of the Big Ten will be waiting to celebrate it and why one loss would NOT mean Indiana's championship window has closed. Then, TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction joins the show to preview two massive Big Ten non-conference matchups: Michigan vs. Oklahoma and Ohio State vs. Texas. Which program needs the Week 2 win more? Could Michigan immediately put itself on a College Football Playoff path under Kyle Whittingham? And how much pressure will be on Ohio State against Texas?

Indiana Football is FINALLY back. Curt Cignetti met with the media ahead of the Hoosiers' season opener against North Texas, and one thing is clear: Indiana is ready to stop practicing and finally see what this team can do on the field. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's comments about Indiana's offensive line, defensive depth, secondary and the challenges of preparing for a North Texas roster loaded with transfers. Former Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson also adds another wrinkle to the Week 1 matchup.

Indiana Football enters Week 1 with plenty of hype surrounding Curt Cignetti's roster, but one position group isn't getting nearly enough attention: safety. Amare Ferrell returns as one of the most important pieces of Indiana's secondary, but the Hoosiers have intriguing options around him. Byron Baldwin has impressed during fall camp, Preston Zachman brings experience from Wisconsin, and Quan Sanks provides another option in the rotation. The group could once again become a major strength for Indiana's defense. Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's safety room and why the secondary could become a major weapon for the Hoosiers in 2026. Then, TJ Pittinger of the Big Ten Football Addiction Show joins the show to preview Week 1 across college football, including UCLA-Cal, Wisconsin-Notre Dame, Clemson-LSU, Louisville-Ole Miss and more.

Indiana Football running back Khobie Martin is getting national attention as a potential breakout player for the 2026 college football season — but the Hoosiers may have much more than one breakout running back.

The 2026 college football season is here, and the Big Ten could once again be the best conference in the country. On this Locked On College crossover, Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers is joined by Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions for a complete preview of the 2026 Big Ten football season. Can Indiana repeat as Big Ten champions? Are Oregon and Ohio State the Hoosiers' biggest threats? Which teams could crash the College Football Playoff race? Jacob and Zach break down the Big Ten hierarchy, debate the conference's best quarterbacks, discuss Oregon losing both coordinators, identify underrated players and teams, examine coaches potentially entering the hot seat, and make their official Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff predictions. Plus, why Josh Hoover belongs among the conference's best quarterbacks, why Julian Sayin might be overrated, why UCLA and Wisconsin could surprise people, and whether the Big Ten can send four teams to the College Football Playoff.

Can this decisive action keep chaos at bay across the NCAA? Analysts weigh in on the repercussions for stars like Aaron Graves and examine how this “adult in the room” move shapes transfer eligibility and enforcement, with head coach suspensions and hefty fines on the table for violators. Week 0 kicks off with USC facing San Jose State, while Indiana’s projected 10.5 win total sparks lively debate. The squad discusses Big Ten contenders, breakthrough players like Josh Hoover and Bryce Underwood, and how new coaching dynamics could influence Michigan, Nebraska, and Rutgers’ season trajectories.

247Sports released its 2026 College Football Team Talent Composite, and the Indiana Hoosiers landed at an unbelievable No. 41. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins reacts to Indiana's placement and explains why a ranking based heavily on players' high-school recruiting profiles fails to capture what Curt Cignetti and his staff have built in Bloomington. Indiana is coming off a national championship season with proven stars across the roster, yet teams including Minnesota, Cal, Arkansas and Virginia Tech appear ahead of the Hoosiers in the Team Talent Composite. Does Indiana really have the 41st-most talented roster in college football? Or is this another example of why recruiting rankings can't tell the entire story once players actually develop at the college level? Then, TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction joins the show to put a bow on Indiana Football fall camp. We discuss Josh Hoover's development, Indiana's loaded receiver room, the remaining battle between AJ Harris and Ryland Gandy at cornerback, the starting tight end competition and what the Hoosiers need to show in Week 1 against North Texas. Plus, what should expectations actually be for Indiana after winning the national championship? Is another College Football Playoff appearance the benchmark, and how disappointing would an 8-4 or 9-3 season be?

Sam Alexis is currently ineligible to play for Indiana Basketball — but the story is far from over. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the latest twist in Alexis' ongoing eligibility battle after the NCAA appealed the court order that had allowed him and other players to receive an additional year of eligibility. What exactly happened? Can Alexis still practice with Indiana? Could he play if the Hoosiers had a game today? And why is there still optimism that Darian DeVries will ultimately have the veteran big man available this season? Then, Indiana Football officially knows the quarterback it will face in Week 1 — and it's a very familiar name. Former Hoosier quarterback Tayven Jackson has been named the starter at North Texas. We break down what Jackson brings to the Mean Green, why his mobility could challenge Indiana's defense and why Curt Cignetti's staff should have a head start preparing for its former quarterback. Finally, ESPN released its Top 100 players in college football, and seven Indiana Hoosiers made the list. Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, Tyrique Tucker, Charlie Becker, Carter Smith and more receive national recognition as Indiana prepares to defend its national championship. Plus, Charlie Becker is putting his touchdowns toward an incredible cause this season.

Don Fischer has been the voice of Indiana University athletics for more than five decades. Now, the incredible story of the legendary IU broadcaster is being told in a new documentary: Timeless: Don Fischer's Half-Century Broadcasting IU Sports. On this special edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins sits down with documentary producer Mark Alesia to discuss how the project came together, what Indiana fans will see, and why Fischer's impact reaches far beyond the football field and basketball court. The conversation dives into Fischer's 54 seasons behind the microphone, some of his most iconic calls, rare archival audio included in the documentary, stories from behind the scenes, and the connection Fischer has built with generations of Hoosier fans. Mark also discusses Bob Costas' involvement in the documentary, Fischer's reaction when approached about the project, the process of putting decades of Indiana history together and his personal favorite Don Fischer calls. Timeless will have a free public screening at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday, August 27, before airing on WTIU at 6:30 p.m. Friday, August 28. The documentary is also expected to become available online over the weekend. 00:00 Documentary Introduction 01:08 Don Fisher Documentary 02:27 Project Inspiration 03:33 National Tributes 04:36 Don Fisher's Impact 05:16 Voice Across Generations 06:17 Fan Connections 07:13 Alumni Statistics 08:06 Iconic Calls Discussion 10:34 Production Team 12:24 Unique Archive Clips 13:39 Don’s Reaction 14:53 Family & Legacy 16:41 Bob Costas Interview 18:13 Don’s Personal Involvement 21:15 Favorite Fisher Calls 23:16 Awards & Achievements 23:56 Premiere & Screening Details Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Big Ten is taking a stand on one of the wildest issues facing college football. The conference has moved to prevent players who have entered the professional/NFL ranks from returning to play Big Ten football, putting even more pressure on the SEC and other major conferences to decide how they'll handle the issue. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins is joined by TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to react to the breaking news, what it means for college football and why all eyes now turn toward the SEC, LSU and Lane Kiffin. Then, we turn back to Indiana football fall camp. Curt Cignetti says veteran Grant Wilson “definitely has the edge” over Tyler Cherry in the battle to back up Josh Hoover at quarterback. What does that tell us about Indiana's QB room, and could Cherry eventually overtake Wilson as the season progresses?   On today's show: Big Ten takes action on former NFL/pro players returning to college football Why the conference moved quickly Whether other Power conferences follow Why the SEC becomes the conference to watch Lane Kiffin and LSU's role in the controversy How a rule like this could be enforced Grant Wilson vs. Tyler Cherry for Indiana's QB2 job Why Cherry could still become QB2 later this season Indiana's long-term quarterback development   Subscribe to Locked On Hoosiers for daily coverage of Indiana football and Indiana basketball.   00:00 Big Ten Bans NFL Players 01:01 Petitti’s Strategic Move 02:09 Big Ten Leading Change 03:30 Rule Enforcement Debate 04:01 Presidential Self-Enforcement 05:22 Courts and Loopholes 06:07 Policy and Precedent 06:48 SEC Response Questioned 07:08 Lane Kiffin’s Comments 08:12 NCAA Accountability 09:09 Loophole Exploitation 10:18 Rule Finalization Update 14:14 Backup Quarterback Battle 16:11 Grant Wilson’s Edge 17:40 Tyler Cherry’s Potential 19:13 Developing Quarterback Talent 20:28 Fall Camp Updates   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Indiana Football is entering the final stretch of fall camp, and Curt Cignetti just gave several major updates before the Hoosiers turn their attention toward Week 1. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's latest comments, including the battle between Ryland Gandy and AJ Harris for the starting cornerback job opposite Jamari Sharpe. With Harris working his way back after tweaking his knee, has Gandy moved into the lead? We also discuss the latest eligibility situation involving Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt, Josh Hoover's continued development, Tyler Morris emerging as Indiana's punt returner and what Cignetti revealed about the kick-return rotation. Plus, Lane Kiffin made controversial comments about NFL players returning to college football. Jacob explains why he doesn't like Kiffin's comments — but also why Kiffin is right about the current state of the sport. Finally, ESPN released its preseason college football power rankings and has Indiana all the way down at No. 8. Are the defending champions being overlooked again? Indiana Football is almost back.

Indiana basketball hosted another massive international recruiting target this weekend as 7-foot-1 German center Felix Kiehlneker visited Bloomington. Could Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers be building one of college basketball's most interesting international recruiting pipelines? Kiehlneker is a 2027 center from Germany who brings legitimate size at 7-foot-1 and 230 pounds, but his film shows much more than just height. Jacob Goins breaks down what stands out about his athleticism, rebounding, activity around the basket and potential fit with Indiana basketball. The Hoosiers have continued to make international recruiting a priority under Darian DeVries, and Kiehlneker is another name to watch as Indiana looks to build its 2027 recruiting class around current commit Chase Branham. Plus, Josh Hoover continues to receive major preseason recognition. The Indiana quarterback has been named to the Manning Award watch list, while his Heisman Trophy betting odds continue to generate attention ahead of the 2026 college football season. Can Indiana land another international big man? And just how good can Josh Hoover be in Curt Cignetti's offense?

Indiana football has reached the final week of fall camp, and Curt Cignetti still has some important questions to answer before the Hoosiers officially turn their attention toward Week 1. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the biggest position battles still facing Indiana. Who starts opposite Jamari Sharpe at cornerback: AJ Harris or Ryland Gandy? And can Brock Schott separate himself from Andrew Barker and Trevor Gibbs in Indiana's crowded tight end competition? We also take another look at the eligibility situation surrounding Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt. If neither defensive lineman is available, just how good can Indiana's defensive front still be? With Mario Landino, Tyrique Tucker, Daniel Ndukwe and a deep collection of young talent and transfers, the Hoosiers still have plenty of options up front. Finally, former Indiana quarterback and No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Fernando Mendoza had his first real "welcome to the NFL" moment after throwing a pick-six during his second preseason start. Why Mendoza's response should look very familiar to Indiana fans—and why there is no reason to panic. Indiana football is almost here. What questions does Curt Cignetti need answered before Week 1?

Indiana Football continues to build momentum in fall camp as Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers prepare for the 2026 college football season. On this bonus edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins is joined by TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to break down the latest from Indiana Football fall camp, including Josh Hoover's progression at quarterback, the battle at wide receiver, Indiana's loaded running back room and a defense that could be even better than it was last season. How has Hoover handled the biggest concern surrounding his game? What are Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh showing at wide receiver? Who could emerge as Indiana's third option? And are there any legitimate weaknesses on a roster expected to compete for another College Football Playoff appearance? Then, the conversation expands to the Big Ten. Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon appear to be the conference's top three teams entering 2026 — but who comes next? Michigan, USC, Washington and Penn State all have potential paths into the College Football Playoff. Could the Big Ten send four — or even five — teams to the CFP? And could a three-loss Big Ten team have a legitimate playoff argument? All of that and more on this bonus edition of Locked On Hoosiers.   Topics include: Latest Indiana Football fall camp updates Josh Hoover's development at quarterback Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh at wide receiver Indiana's battle for WR3 Indiana's defensive line depth Linebacker and cornerback position battles Indiana's College Football Playoff outlook Michigan's potential under Kyle Whittingham Penn State, USC and Washington How many Big Ten teams could make the CFP?   Subscribe to Locked On Hoosiers for daily coverage of Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball.   00:00 Indiana Football Updates 01:23 Fall Camp Vibes 02:43 Josh Hoover Progress 05:39 Wide Receiver Depth 07:47 Defense: Biggest Question 10:30 Depth and Injuries 13:32 Big Ten Contenders 14:16 Beyond the Big Three 17:24 Michigan as Challenger 18:28 Playoff Paths 20:19 Big Ten vs. SEC 22:29 Final Thoughts   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Indiana Football has been hit with a major eligibility curveball just before the start of the 2026 college football season.

Indiana football continues to recruit some of the best high school talent in the country, and another HUGE visitor is expected in Bloomington this fall. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down three Class of 2028 prospects expected to visit Indiana, headlined by Casey Barner, the nation's No. 1 safety according to the ranking discussed on the show. Barner has offers from programs including Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M—and now Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers will get an opportunity to bring the elite defensive back to Bloomington. Jacob also discusses four-star Louisiana safety Jayden Keelan, with Indiana potentially positioning itself well early in his recruitment, plus highly rated in-state defensive lineman Sam Hirschy from New Palestine.

Indiana Basketball suddenly has another opportunity to look at the transfer portal as more college basketball players pursue additional eligibility — but should Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers actually make another roster move? On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana's 13-man scholarship roster is likely complete after Sam Alexis received another year of eligibility. Even with major names becoming available across college basketball, Indiana may already have exactly what it needs heading into the 2026-27 season. Plus, what should Indiana fans expect from Trent Sisley in Year 2? After showing flashes as a freshman, Sisley's combination of size, versatility and defensive potential could give DeVries several ways to use him this season. Will he primarily play the 3 or the 4? And how large could his role become?

Indiana Football suddenly has another intriguing option at linebacker. Reigning Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Trent Hendrick has reportedly gained another year of college eligibility — and his history at James Madison creates an interesting hypothetical for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down why Hendrick could make sense for Indiana, his production at James Madison, the Hoosiers' current linebacker depth and why Cignetti and Bryant Haines already have familiarity with the former JMU standout. Plus, Indiana's offense appears to be catching up with its defense midway through fall camp. Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker and the Hoosiers' offensive weapons continue to make progress as Week 1 approaches. Finally, we turn to Indiana Basketball, where ESPN's latest Bracketology dropped Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers to an 8-seed. Is Indiana being underrated again?

Nick Marsh is starting to look like the superstar Indiana Football expected when the Hoosiers landed the Michigan State transfer. Another Indiana fall practice is in the books, and Marsh continues to make noise. From impressive catches to growing chemistry with Josh Hoover, the talented wide receiver appears to be getting more comfortable in Curt Cignetti's program every day. Could Charlie Becker begin the season as Indiana's top target before Marsh eventually emerges as WR1? Jacob breaks down why Indiana could have two WR1-caliber receivers in Becker and Marsh—and why the Hoosiers' passing attack has serious potential in 2026. Plus, Paul Finebaum doesn't believe Indiana can win another National Championship. Is anyone surprised? We discuss the continued skepticism surrounding the defending National Champions and why Indiana doesn't need national media validation.

Indiana Football is reportedly trending up for 4-star 2028 running back Xander Edwards, and Curt Cignetti continues to prove that the Hoosiers can recruit against some of the biggest programs in college football. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's pursuit of Edwards, the talented Florida running back who has drawn interest from programs including Miami, Notre Dame and Michigan. Then, we turn our attention to Indiana's current running back room. Turbo Richard and Khobie Martin landed on the Doak Walker Award preseason watch list, while Lee Beebe Jr. gives the Hoosiers another dangerous option in what could be one of the deepest running back rooms in the Big Ten. Plus, national reports are beginning to emerge from Indiana fall camp, and the latest buzz surrounding Josh Hoover should have Hoosier fans feeling even better about the quarterback heading into the 2026 season.

Indiana Football had the best defense in college football during its 2025 national championship season — but could the Hoosiers somehow be EVEN BETTER in 2026? On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down why Curt Cignetti's defense has a chance to be historically good this season. Indiana returns major production along the defensive front, added even more talent through the transfer portal and once again has one of college football's top defensive staffs. Could this become one of the best defenses college football has ever seen? Plus, we dive deeper into Indiana's No. 6 ranking in the preseason AP Top 25 and two fascinating historical trends that could point toward the Hoosiers having a legitimate chance to repeat as national champions. Finally, we react to a controversial reported comment from an NCAA Tournament Selection Committee member and discuss why subjective postseason selection continues to create problems across college athletics.

Curt Cignetti spoke with the media following Indiana Football’s first scrimmage of fall camp, and we learned a lot about where the Hoosiers stand as the 2026 season gets closer. On today’s bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob breaks down Cignetti’s latest comments on Indiana’s position battles, including Bray Lynch taking 90% of the first-team reps at center, the competition behind Isaiah Jones and Elijah Hardy at linebacker, the possibility of Kellen Wyatt playing linebacker, and what Cignetti had to say about Indiana’s wide receiver room. The defense remains ahead of the offense, but Cignetti says the offense is beginning to make more plays as camp progresses. With no major injury concerns and plenty of upside throughout the roster, where does Indiana stand after its first scrimmage? Then, we react to the preseason AP Poll putting the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers at No. 6. Is Indiana being disrespected again?

The defending national champion Hoosiers are preparing to host some of the country's most talented high school recruits this fall, including five-star safety Casey Barner, four-star corner Nakai Lambeth and offensive lineman Steven Caxton Idowu. Indiana is increasingly finding itself in recruiting conversations alongside some of college football's biggest programs. Jacob Goins breaks down why Indiana's recruiting momentum could be the next major step in building sustainable success in Bloomington.

We also discuss Elijah Sarratt's NFL preseason performance and what Indiana's growing NFL pipeline means for recruiting. Finally, Indiana Basketball commit Chase Branham continues to impress.

Indiana Football enters the 2026 season as the defending national champion — but is Curt Cignetti's team actually a lock to return to the College Football Playoff? On this Locked On College Crossover, Jacob Goins is joined by Zach Seyko and Spencer McLaughlin to debate the CFP chances for Indiana, Oregon and Penn State. Could the Hoosiers finish 10-2 and somehow miss the 12-team playoff? How much margin for error does Indiana really have?

Indiana basketball completely reloaded its roster for Year 2 under Darian DeVries, but could one of the Hoosiers' most important additions also be one of the least talked about? SMU transfer center Samet Yigitoglu gives Indiana legitimate size at 7-foot-2 and 270 pounds, and his combination of efficiency, rebounding, defense and pick-and-roll ability could make him a difference maker for the Hoosiers. After averaging nearly 11 points and eight rebounds per game while shooting 63% from the floor at SMU, Yigitoglu brings a physical presence Indiana simply didn't have at center last season. We break down why his impact could make life easier for the rest of Indiana's revamped roster. Plus, we discuss the lawsuit filed by former Indiana men's basketball head athletic trainer Tim Garl against Indiana University, the Board of Trustees and athletic director Scott Dolson, including the allegations described in the lawsuit and why this is another situation to follow around IU Athletics.

Everyone knows about Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh. But Indiana Football's wide receiver room might be much deeper than those two stars. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, we break down one of the most overlooked position groups in Bloomington and ask the biggest question facing the room: Who becomes Josh Hoover's third wide receiver? Becker returns after making some of Indiana's biggest catches during last season's championship run, while Michigan State transfer Nick Marsh brings another potentially elite weapon into Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan's offense. But the real intrigue begins behind them. Could Tulane transfer Shazz Preston become WR3? Can Michigan transfer Tyler Morris finally stay healthy and emerge? What roles could LeBron Bond and Davion Chandler earn during fall camp? Indiana's opponents are going to build game plans around stopping Becker and Marsh. Eventually, somebody else will have to beat them — and the Hoosiers have several intriguing candidates capable of doing exactly that. We also react to On3's preseason Top 25, where Indiana comes in at No. 6, and look around the Big Ten at Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Washington, Penn State and Iowa. Finally, college football has made several rule changes for the 2026 season, including an important change to the punishment for targeting. We break down what's changing and why it's an improvement over the previous rule. Who do YOU think becomes Indiana's WR3 behind Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh?

The outside noise surrounding Josh Hoover hasn't stopped. Some believe Indiana Football is taking a step backward at quarterback after Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza. But after the early stages of Indiana fall camp, there are plenty of reasons for Hoosier fans to feel good about where Hoover stands entering his first season running Curt Cignetti's offense. On today's bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why Hoover appears to be right on schedule in Bloomington — and why the outside doubt surrounding Indiana's new quarterback may be overlooking what Cignetti, Mike Shanahan and Tino Sunseri have built offensively. Hoover hasn't been perfect throughout his career, and his turnover history at TCU remains a legitimate question. But through the early practices discussed in this episode, turnovers and missed throws haven't emerged as major problems. Hoover has also shown the short and intermediate accuracy that could fit particularly well with Indiana's passing attack. And Hoover won't have to do it alone. Indiana surrounds him with a deep collection of receivers, running backs and offensive linemen, while the tight end competition continues during fall camp. The episode also discusses early impressions of Turbo Richard, Lee Beebe Jr. and Brock Schott as Indiana's offense takes shape. Then we dive into something that might help explain why Curt Cignetti keeps winning. Indiana's practices are short, intense, detailed and extremely efficient. Cignetti doesn't want his players or coaches wasting hours simply for the sake of being at the facility. Could that approach help prevent burnout, keep players fresh and even become another recruiting advantage for the Hoosiers? Are you buying Josh Hoover as Indiana's next successful quarterback?

Is college football really heading toward a 24-team College Football Playoff? The 2026 CFP remains a 12-team format, but the debate over future expansion continues — with potential formats involving 16, 20 and even 24 teams becoming part of the conversation. On today's Locked On Hoosiers and Locked On Nittany Lions crossover, Jacob Goins and Zach Seyko debate whether college football should stop dragging this out and simply embrace a much larger playoff. Would a 24-team playoff create more meaningful postseason games and massive matchups? Or would continued expansion water down the regular season, eliminate traditional bowl games and potentially change conference championship games? There's also one enormous factor driving the conversation: money. More playoff teams create more games. More games create more television inventory, ticket sales, merchandise opportunities and revenue. That's a major reason Zach believes expansion is ultimately inevitable. But Jacob raises another concern: are college football fans simply getting exhausted by the constant changes to the postseason? We also discuss an ESPN report about what starting players at Power Conference programs are commanding financially, including the incredible market for quarterbacks and premium positions. And later, we dive into an important Indiana Football fall-camp battle. Penn State transfer AJ Harris entered Bloomington looking like a potential starter, but returning cornerback Ryland Gandy is reportedly ahead in the competition opposite Jamari Sharpe. What does that mean for Curt Cignetti's secondary? Would YOU support a 24-team College Football Playoff? Or has expansion already gone far enough?   00:00 Is a 24-Team Playoff Coming? 01:41 Just Go to 24 Teams Already? 03:27 What Happens to Bowl Games? 04:44 The MONEY Behind CFP Expansion 06:51 Big Ten vs. SEC on Expansion 07:20 How Much Are College Players Making? 09:06 What Does a Starting Player Cost? 10:44 $1-3 MILLION for a Quarterback?! 11:43 Running Back Market Value 12:52 Offensive Linemen Are Getting PAID 14:59 What Kickers & Defenders Make 15:39 Will Player Salaries Ever Drop? 17:28 College Football's Spending Problem 19:01 $100 Million Rosters?! 20:33 AJ Harris May NOT Start at Indiana 24:08 AJ Harris vs. Ryland Gandy 25:28 What Happened to AJ Harris? 26:32 Is Harris a System Corner? 27:09 Why Indiana Shouldn't Panic 28:37 Can Harris Win the Job? 29:38 Final Thoughts   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .   The Game Don't miss this chance to celebrate 40 years of The Game with 40% off your entire order. Visit https://TheGameCaps.com  and use promo code  LOCKEDON at checkout.

Curt Cignetti just gave Indiana Football fans a fascinating look inside the Hoosiers' plan for quarterback Josh Hoover — including why Indiana believes it can put the former TCU QB in a better position to succeed. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins reacts to Cignetti's film-room session with ESPN's Rece Davis, where the Indiana head coach broke down film from the Hoosiers' championship season and explained what his staff saw while evaluating Hoover in the transfer portal. Cignetti acknowledged Hoover's turnover issues at TCU, but he also pointed to how much was being asked of the quarterback. Indiana plans to run the football more and provide Hoover with more support — potentially allowing the new Hoosiers quarterback to play more efficiently inside Cignetti's offense. Could Indiana's offensive system help unlock another level from Josh Hoover? Plus, Indiana Football is LOADED with preseason All-America talent. Six Hoosiers were selected to On3's preseason All-America teams, including first-team selections Rolijah Hardy, Carter Smith and Tyrique Tucker. But did On3 actually leave several Indiana stars off the list? Jacob explains why Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, Amare Ferrell and several others could force their way into the All-America conversation by the end of the season. How much better do you think Josh Hoover can be in Indiana's offense?

Indiana Football quarterback Josh Hoover is already receiving criticism from opposing college football coaches — and Jacob Goins believes they may be making the same mistake people have made with Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers before. On today’s Locked On Hoosiers, we react to anonymous comments collected by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg about quarterbacks across college football. One Big 12 defensive coordinator questioned whether Hoover can come close to what Fernando Mendoza accomplished at Indiana, while a Big Ten coach offered a more measured assessment of the former TCU quarterback. Is Hoover really a step down? Or could playing in Curt Cignetti’s offense with Mike Shanahan and Tino Sunseri help unlock another level from Indiana’s new QB1? Jacob explains why Hoover doesn’t need to become Fernando Mendoza for Indiana to have another elite offense — and why he believes Hoover can finish among the best quarterbacks in both the Big Ten and the country. We also dive into the latest College Football Playoff expansion discussions, including a newly discussed 20-team model featuring four play-in games. Would that actually improve college football, or are television networks pushing the sport toward an unnecessarily massive postseason? Plus, Indiana Basketball has added Western Illinois to its 2026-27 non-conference schedule as Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers move closer to completing their full slate.

Indiana Football is entering its first full week of fall camp, and Curt Cignetti may already be giving us some clues about players who could be moving up the depth chart. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's latest comments from Indiana Football practice, including an intriguing development in the backup quarterback competition between Tyler Cherry and Grant Wilson. Josh Hoover is Indiana's starting quarterback, but who will be behind him? Cherry received an opportunity to work with the second-team offense after Wilson handled those reps during the opening days of camp. Could the talented young quarterback be starting to make his move? We also dive into a surprisingly competitive Indiana tight end room. Miami transfer Brock Schott appeared to be a natural candidate to emerge as Indiana's top option, but Andrew Barker, Blake Thiry and Trevor Gibbs are among the young tight ends competing for roles. Plus, could Indiana's offensive line be deeper than expected? And we have the latest on Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt as Indiana continues to work its way through fall camp. What do YOU want to see Indiana do at QB2: stick with Grant Wilson's experience or develop Tyler Cherry for the future?

Indiana Football has one major position battle to watch during fall camp — and the early leader might not be who many expected. On today’s Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the battle between Ryland Gandy and Penn State transfer AJ Harris for the starting cornerback spot opposite Jamari Sharpe. Harris looked like an obvious candidate to replace D’Angelo Ponds when he arrived in Bloomington, but Gandy’s early work in fall camp has made this one of the most fascinating competitions on Curt Cignetti’s roster. Could Gandy actually win the starting job? What would that mean for Harris? And could this competition continue into the opening weeks of the season? We also catch up on a wild few days around Indiana Football. Purdue’s new athletic director took a shot at the Hoosiers that quickly drew attention, while Indiana added even more depth to an already loaded defensive front with Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley returning. Plus, we discuss the Protect College Sports Act, why action has been pushed into September, and what potential changes involving NIL, roster spending and college athletics could eventually mean for programs like Indiana. Who should start opposite Jamari Sharpe: Ryland Gandy or AJ Harris? Let me know in the comments.
