IU football coach Curt Cignetti: ‘We’ve got a chance to be as good as we want to be’
Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti shares his overall impressions of the team’s performance during spring practice.
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football landed a verbal commitment from three-star linebacker Jacob Savage on Friday afternoon.
It capped off a wild recruiting week for the Hoosiers that saw them add four commitments to their 2026 signing class, including a pledge from one of Indiana’s top in-state prospects Kasmir Hicks earlier in the day. The coaching staff also added a pair of commitments on the defensive line (Kent State’s Stephen Daley and Maryland’s Kellan Wyatt) out of the transfer portal.
Indiana’s class now ranks No. 42 in 247Sports team rankings with five commitments for the current recruiting cycle. Coach Curt Cignetti’s first full recruiting class ranked No. 39 in the country last year.
Savage is a 6-foot-1, 219-pound linebacker out of Ryle High School in Kentucky. He’s the No. 54 ranked linebacker in the 2026 class and No. 663 overall prospect with 16 scholarship offers, including from Louisville, Michigan State, Minnesota and Purdue.
He put up big numbers at Ryle last season as a two-way starter. He had 1,400 total yards (1,085 rushing yards) with 26 touchdowns, as well as 141 tackles with 17 for a loss and three sacks.
