Upon his arrival in Bloomington, Curt Cignetti overhauled IU football’s recruiting department. And so far, the Hoosiers are starting to see the fruits of their labor with 11 commitments in a 2025 recruiting class ranked in the top-40 by On3.com.
After spending “90%” of his time on the transfer portal in his first months on the job, Cignetti has been able to turn his attention to the 2025 class. His pitch to potential recruits? “It’s pretty simple: I win. Google me.”
Here’s a closer look at IU’s early 2025 recruiting haul:

That’s how I want to come… I want to come different and I want to come hard and I really want to go full speed into it and prove everybody wrong.”
