Spring Camp Outlook
As Indiana University prepares for its 2026 spring camp, the coaching staff has released a series of position‑group projections that paint an optimistic picture for the Hoosiers. The latest preview highlights a depth chart that appears poised for breakout performances across the board.
At quarterback, Tyler Cherry is slated to claim the QB2 role and is expected to see action in at least six games, giving the offense a reliable backup option.
Running back Khobie Martin is projected to lead the team in rushing touchdowns and earn a spot on the All‑Big Ten team, underscoring his emergence as a primary ball‑carrier.
Wide receiver Tyler Morris is forecast to shatter his own career marks in receptions, yards and touchdowns, cementing his status as the most productive pass catcher in school history.
Andrew Barker, the senior tight end, is expected to play in every game and emerge as Indiana’s top pass‑blocking tight end, a key factor in the line’s protection schemes.
The offensive line outlook is equally encouraging, with four Hoosiers penciled in as potential selections for the 2027 NFL Draft, underscoring the program’s growing pro‑potential.
Defensively, Kansas State transfers Tobi Osunsanmi and Chiddi Obiazor are anticipated to anchor the pass rush, topping the team in sacks and tackles for loss.
Mario Landino is slated to receive his first All‑Big Ten selection, while Rolijah Hardy is projected to become a consensus All‑American, highlighting the defensive unit’s star power.
Ryland Gandy and A.J. Harris are both expected to log at least 75% of defensive snaps, providing depth and experience across the line.
In the secondary, Amare Ferrell and Preston Zachman are projected to combine for more than ten interceptions, adding a playmaking dimension to the defense.
Special teams standout Nico Radicic is predicted to repeat as Big Ten Kicker of the Year, giving the Hoosiers a reliable option in the kicking game.
Overall, the projections suggest that Indiana’s 2026 roster blends proven talent with promising newcomers, setting the stage for a competitive season.
