Chris Bradley, a three‑star cornerback from North College Hill High School in Ohio, has pledged to join Indiana's 2027 recruiting class, becoming the twelfth overall commitment and the only defensive back in that cohort.
A coveted addition to the secondary
The Hoosiers edged out competition from Wisconsin, James Madison and Temple, programs that had also courted the prospect. Bradley's decision follows an offer from Indiana in May, after which the school arranged an official visit that helped seal the deal.
Ranked 123rd among cornerbacks by 247Sports, Bradley brings a blend of size, speed and ball‑hawking instincts that coaches say could elevate the defense early in his freshman year.
What this means for the Hoosiers
The addition of Bradley not only fills a positional need but also adds a recruiting narrative that could attract further talent from Ohio, a fertile ground for future classes. Analysts expect the coaching staff to leverage his presence as a recruiter in the coming months.
