The NCAA has announced that multi-time transfer athletes in football and other fall sports will be immediately eligible to participate in the 2024-25 season without sitting out a year. This decision has led to a significant increase in the number of FBS players in the transfer portal, with 1,825 already in it. Indiana University has made several transfer announcements from James Madison, including defensive players, offensive linemen, and tight ends. The program has also officially added 33 signees to the roster during the Early Signing Period, with 13 of the 17 transfer additions having only one year of eligibility remaining, indicating a focus on immediate production.
One thing to note with Indiana football's 17 transfer additions: 13 of the 17 have only one year of eligibility remaining. So this transfer class is very much a plug-and-play, immediate production type class. IU will have to hit the portal hard again next year. #iufb
