IU Spring Football 2025 – Offensive Line Preview, Depth Chart and Superlatives — Hoosier Huddle

Pat Coogan looks like he started and played most games most snaps for ND last year. Now transfers to us. Anyone know why? Do we have a grad program he really wanted? Did he feel Bostad could develop him better for the pros than ND?

I agree. Coach Bostad has shown, even to a casual observer like me, to be a great coach.

If we can keep him for another 5 years...we will be mentioned annually as having one of the 3 best lines in the conference.

Someone on here said his girlfriend is at IU. I cannot vouch for that though.

I like the upgrade on the OL and can't wait to see them open holes this year blocking for passes [Mendoza will think he is in heaven based on Cal's offense].

I think Pat coogan started due to an injury and said player is healthy again so his starting spot was looking less likely next season

I hope that link holds up. I might have preferred he wanted an MBA from the Kelly business school or Bosstad making him a round 1 draft pick, but you take what you can get.

This will be one of the best lines in the Big Ten. I think the running game will be top shelf!

Coogan was a backup. He played because of injuries. He’s a multiple iol type guy though. He’s a grad transfer too. His girlfriend is at or was at IU. Dude decided starting, having a place to park his “you know what” and make money was more important than playing second string at ND. What’s not to like?

Many ND fans were saying he only won the job due to injury. Others say he was always in the mix to start and may have next year.
But in the same breath those even saying he wouldn't win a starting spot admit it is a loss, because he's good, and could start in several spots, and is a leader. So while ND fans tout they have excellent lineman and line depth, most still hated to see him leave.
Sounds like a guy we need! Versatile quality... I'm sure he'll be starting or at least 'spelling' to almost equal a starters amount of snaps.

He was a starter the year before. He got beat out by one guy. It is not like he was a depth chart guy his entire career at ND until many people got hurt. Now the dude from Ohio State fits that bill but not this guy. He is a high quality guy that was a prized recruit amongst teams.

They both are. Also, I didn’t mean it as a chide towards him. He just made the best decision for himself. He was a loss to them and a major piece. Ohio state kid was hurt too. Both are upgrades imho.
