2022 IU Football Recruiting Thread (2024)

mushroomgod_1 said:

Time to make a first stab at 2022 IU football recruiting. Rivals & Peegs both have offer lists. This list is intended to be a condensed version of guys I feel IU has a legit shot at.

Again, I know only what I've read on-line---no personal knowledge. The comments about who 'leads', initially, are all from the 247 site. IU offers of Indiana players ranked by 247 & Rivals are noted as such.

Unfortunately, we've already lost out on some top Indiana prospects. #3 247 & Rivals OT Joey Tanona is a ND commit; #5/2 QB Brady Allen is a Purdue commit; Also, #1/1 DT Caden Curry & #2/6 OT Kiyaunta Goodwin are OSU leans.

I'd welcome comments about additions and deletions. Also, errors.

So here goes: (125 as of 6/28/21)

Other commits:

M. Golden to TCU; C. Brown to Pitt; E. Pugh to Illinois (from Cincy); T. McIntosh to Wisconsin; J. Glover to MSU; G. Burkle to Iowa St.; T. Gibson to GT; A. Craig to ND; J. Peoples to Kansas; A.
