Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)

As a defensive-minded head coach, linebacker has always been a position near and dear to Tom Allen’s heart. New faces are the recurring theme surrounding these positional previews this year, but Allen has composed a roster of a mix of both returnees and newcomers by way of the transfer portal in this room.

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The Hoosiers are four practices into their spring session and have hit spring break with 11 practices to go. We continue our look into the position battles happening all over the field for IU. After losing All-American linebacker Micah McFadden to the NFL Draft, IU will have a hole to fill at the middle linebacker position. IU does get Cam Jones back at stinger and there is no battle there. The spring should go a long way into determining who starts the opener against Illinois in the middle of the Hoosiers’ defense.
