6-5, 305 when he signed 2 years ago. Started at Michigan as a RS freshman.
Could be a 3-year starter on IU offensive line, easily the team's biggest weakness.
Perfect!

Had a lot of really good offers.

Mean/nasty interior line mauler.

Cincinnati Moeller grad...that would be a nice pipeline to develop.

Cincinnati was after him but preferred IU.

A lot to like here...

A good player is transferring to IU from Michigan? That is a victory of itself

You are right...projected to be a starter next year at Michigan and he chooses to come to IU.

New Michigan pipeline?

Awesome way to begin the new year!

Should come in and compete and help solidify our interior line next year.

Zero downside of this move.

Great catch!

Thanks for alerting us!

Great addition for IU especially as we need an upgrade in the interior OL. More competition to improve our OL and keep IU on the winning track in the B1G.

I guess he figures he has a better chance of beating O$U at IU than at Michigan.
