One of the Whisky insiders dropped an IU Crystal Ball pick here - would be a nice, in-state pick-up

Smythe becomes the second in-state commitment, and seventh for the class.

From Matt Weaver:

"IU football has added to their 2026 recruiting class today with the announcement from Blake Smythe that he has committed to the Hoosiers. The 6-foot-3, 275-pound defensive tackle from Franklin (IN) Franklin Community H.S. is the second in-state prospect to pledge to the Hoosiers for 2026.

Smythe committed to Indiana over offers from Illinois, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Kansas, Louisville, Ball State, Memphis, Miami (OH), and Toledo."
