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 Center Grove offensive lineman C.J. Scifres on Saturday, June 14.
It was part of a busy recruiting week that saw the Hoosiers land five commitments and jump to No. 23 overall in the 247 Sports’ team composite rankings with 15 overall commits in the 2026 class.
Scifres posted his decision on social media after taking an official visit over the weekend. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive lineman is a three-star recruit, per 247 Sports.
The Hoosiers have landed pledges from four in-state prospects this cycle — a list that also includes Decatur Central defensive back Kasmir Hicks, Crown Point defensive end Trevor Gibbs and Franklin Community defensive lineman Blake Smythe — and three offensive linemen.

The highest-ranked recruit IU landed was three-star defensive lineman Kevontay Hugan. The Florida native is the No. 431 overall recruit in the class, per 247 Sports composite rankings.
Hugan committed to Louisville in March, but flipped his pledge after an official visit to Bloomington this month. His list of offers includes Baylor, Illinois, Maryland, Miami, Missouri, Penn State and USC.
The defender had 118 total tackles (76 solo) with 18 sacks for Booker High School last season.
Hugan is the fourth IU commit this cycle ranked among the top 500 overall recruits. Four-star safety Byron Baldwin was the only signee in last year’s class ranked in the top 500.
