Indiana's 2026 transfer portal class, highlighted by quarterback Josh Hoover, receiver Nick Marsh and interior lineman Joe Brunner, reflects coach Curt Cignetti's focus on fit over pedigree.

The Hoosiers gathered in Washington, D.C., to commemorate their national championship, while plans for a 2026 title defense already take shape.

President Donald Trump welcomed Indiana University’s national championship football team to the White House, praising their 16‑0 run and presenting commemorative items.

The Hoosiers’ perfect campaign, crowned by a Rose Bowl victory and a Heisman accolade, earned them a rare invitation to the Oval Office, where coach Cignetti was likened to Muhammad Ali and celebrated alongside university leaders.

Curt Cignetti’s Indiana football program leans on a stable culture and staff rather than the dwindling number of James Madison transfers as it aims to defend its national title in 2026.
