Indiana's football program has ridden a wave of defensive dominance to a recent national championship, a triumph built on a ferocious front line that stifled opponents week after week.
Official Visit to Bloomington
At the center of the next wave is Myles Smith, a 4-star edge rusher who tops the 2027 recruiting class at his position and sits inside the top 250 prospects nationally, according to both 247Sports and Rivals rankings.
This weekend the Hoosiers will open the doors of their Bloomington campus to the Michigan native, inviting him to experience the atmosphere that helped forge their defensive identity.
Smith, a standout at Farmington High School in Farmington, Michigan, brings a blend of size, speed and pass-rush technique that has attracted attention from a host of Power Five programs.
His recruitment board currently lists scholarship offers from Missouri, Kentucky and a slew of Big Ten peers, underscoring the national reach of his talent.
Coaches hope the visit will cement a connection that could reshape the defensive line for the coming seasons, adding another playmaker to a unit that already boasts depth and experience.
