Indiana football didn't lose a single player to the transfer portal that was in the program's "long-term plan," coach Curt Cignetti said on National Signing Day.

Greg McElroy gave an obvious grade for the job done during the debut season of Indiana’s Curt Cignetti. On ‘Always College Football’ last week, McElroy said Cignetti had aced his first year in Bloomington.

Part of the reason that Greg McElroy thinks he had so much success in his first year at Indiana was he brought many of his best players from James Madison with him. Cignetti coached James Madison from 2019 to 2023, reaching the conference championship game every year.

It was a wildly successful season for the Indiana Hoosiers and first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. They went 11-2 overall, 8-1 in Ben Ten games, and even made the College Football Playoff as the No. 10 seed, but eventually lost to No. 7 Notre Dame in the first round.
