Wellman has an IU connection.

Jon Blau - Aaron Wellman began his career as a graduate assistant at IU (1996-98). He then spent three years as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Hoosiers.

“Wanna work with a guy who puts you at NFL level? We got that.”

(though just barely, cause it’s the Giants)

They've won 2 SBs the last 13 years.

Sure, he's bigger -- and probably better. But will it matter if he can't stay healthy? 

Tom Allen: "Hey -- this is your team."

I thought it was interesting that in a Chicago Tribune story about Ramsey transferring to Northwestern, Peyton's father says Allen told him he would be the starter going into next season. That wasn't consistent what what Allen's seemingly been saying all along -- that when Penix is healthy, he's the man.

Yeah I have a hard time believing Allen straight up told Peyton he was the starter next year. Why would he transfer if that is the case? Maybe he said the job was up for grabs, but it has been clear that Allen is hoping for Penix to be the guy. Just my opinion

BLOOMINGTON – IU football’s latest graduate transfer can prepare for a homecoming.

 

Jovan Swann, a defensive lineman the Hoosiers prioritized out of Center Grove High School before losing him to Stanford in 2016, announced Thursday his decision to graduate from the Pac-12 school and enroll at Indiana. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

“Thank you Stanford University for a great four years, on and off the field,” Swann wrote in a message posted to his Twitter account Thursday. “I have completed the process of finding a home for my final year of eligibility, after many prayers and great discussions.

“To all my support system, near and far, and the rest of Indiana, I am staying home this time and committing to Indiana University!”

Swann joins a defensive line unit that’s as deep and experienced as any the Hoosiers have fielded in years. Listed as a 271-pound defensive end, Swann appeared in 39 games (19 starts) over the last three seasons for the Cardinal, tallying 18 ½ tackles for loss, 11 ½ sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. He was an All Pac-12 honorable mention selection in 2018, and has twice been named to all-conference academic teams.

Finally some good news this offseason for the football team. Seems like most of the movement on the squad and staff has been outgoing. Hopefully the offense can get things sorted for next year, because it seems like our defense may finally be ready to compete at a high level.

I wonder: Is this just an odd angle for a photo -- or does Penix have huge hands??? ... This football looks like a toy in his big left mitt.

I'd say there is a good chance he has big hands. Most QBs do.

Couldn’t gain weight and wasn’t going to play from the way it looks. Came in as a freshman at 200 lbs. and is currently 217 lbs. that wasn’t going to get it done in the B1G. Might not be the kids fault but at the end of the day everyone wants a chance at playing time.

My exact thoughts. I wish him the best of luck. He'll do himself well at a MAC level school IMO.

Jovan Swann transferring from Stanford had been known from his Twitter announcement. I hadn’t really gotten too far into his potential impact yet. But came across this. Granted, it was from before last season, but being talked about as the top ranked defensive player in the country in any form tells me he’s got a serious upside for the Hoosiers in his one remaining year.
