54 tackles (22 solo) and 3 picks last year. 117 tackled (53 solo) and 4 picks on his career. He'll be 5th year senior.

^^That was two years ago.^^ He sat out last year coming off of a December, 2023 torn ACL. Apparently was an absolute team leader throughout his time at NC State.

Good catch, I missed the year. I knew he tore his ACL getting ready for the bowl game.

Feels like a lot of secondary depth!  

[68Hoosier]

If I added correctly, we have 41 incoming new faces.

‘Michigan Tackle has entered the portal. Would be awesome to have a 6’8 310 guy on the interior line.

Seeing TE Brody Foley entered the portal and enrolled at Tulsa.  Assuming the addition of Staes was the motivation he needed to jump.

On an unrelated note, NC State S Bishop Fitzgerald landed at USC.  There was mutual interested reported here by The Daily Hoosier.

So it looks like the last possibility from TDH's list is Mori Robinson.

Makes sense on Foley. Another reasonably highly rated guy CTA had that didn't pan out for us. 

Next season-- one other top level edge sets that defense up nicely. Somewhat worried about LBer depth, but if they trust their guys...

Agree on Edge and LB, I wouldn't be sad to see additional line depth added as well.

Robinson to WVU on 1/17.  I haven't seen any other DE's connected with IU and would assume this is an area the staff will monitor into the Spring and assess if further additions are warranted.

Looks like it (if he came to IU). Saw him mentioned by somebody on another site- looks like he’s only got one season left fwiw and I expect the staff’s already familiar with him

IU transfer acquisitions linked with the addition of Boykin.  Also added in 247's transfer portal ranking for the player by position and overall ranking.  Very impressive group.  Was shocked to see how high 247 rated Amariyun Knighten (corner from Northern Illinois).  I have also added our recruits out, their destination and their portal ratings.

Of note:

top 500 transfers in:  6.   top 500 transfers out:  1

top 100 transfers in:  15.  top 1000 transfers out: 2.

I swear to God. Dude’s original HS class was 2010. Seth Towns says WTH.

Sounds like a candidate for Wisconsin basketball.

Notre Dame losing OL Sam Pendleton to the portal, started 7 games for them this year.
