(2026) TE PJ MacFarlane to Indiana

[Pagoda 4,953]

3* TE.  Visited over the weekend and committed.  He had a Missouri visit scheduled, but he committed anyway.  He had a bunch of B1G offers and some SEC schools too.

Interesting detail, in watching his commit video, IUFB now has their IndyCar prop wrapped in IU colors with the CFB Playoff logo.  Previously the car was blue and black with "IndyCar" on the side.  This is another example of IUFB caring about the little details, which I love.  See pics below:

I know it's been around since last fall, but this little IndyCar promo partnership is cool.  It's unique and it fits with image of Cig's IUFB (at least the fast and relentless parts).  And I bet it annoys Purdue a little bit, who is pretty tied into racing with all their engineers and their marching band stuff at the 500.  But hey, IU has The Little 500, which is a helluva tie in too.  Good stuff.

Now that he committed to IUFB it's possible (likely) he'll get more offers from the bigger dogs. It'll all depend on the type of season he has along with other TE recruit's commitments. Let's hope he signs and develops into a Zach Horton or better!!! He'll be competing with 2025's Andrew Barker and Blake Thiry for a chance to get on the field early. All three are great additions to the IUFB family and we can never have enough H/Tight Ends on the roster. Especially if they can block. He has a nice list of offers from various P4 schools.
