Indiana Lands Top Defensive Prospect

Indiana football just pulled off a major recruiting coup with the commitment of four-star defensive end Myles Smith, the first DL to pledge for the 2027 class and now the highest-ranked recruit in the program. With 22 offers including Oklahoma and Michigan, Smith chose Bloomington after an official visit, signaling Indiana’s serious push to build depth on the defensive line. The Hoosiers, who led the FBS in tackles for loss last season and ranked second in sacks, are clearly investing in a dominant front seven — a move head coach Curt Cignetti believes will be the key to future success. Smith’s commitment is a major milestone and a strong sign of where Indiana football is headed. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
