BLOOMINGTON — Redshirt freshman Tyler Cherry will serve as a student coach through the upcoming Indiana football season during his recovery from a knee injury suffered in the build-up to the College Football Playoff game against Notre Dame last month.
Cherry will not be on roster in that time, as he is medically unable to participate in football activity. He can return for 2026 if able.
Cignetti says: Indiana football ‘not satisfied’ after historic season
A four-star prospect in high school, Cherry won a state title and set a fistful of program records quarterbacking state powerhouse Center Grove. He originally committed to Duke before he flipped to Indiana following a coaching change in Durham.
Cherry enrolled a year ago and impressed in bursts in spring practice. He spent last season redshirting alongside fellow freshman Alberto Mendoza, before suffering his injury late in the year.
