Indiana University Football lands Franklin HS Defensive Lineman Blake Smythe for the 2026 Class <\/strong> Indiana picked up a commitment from in-state 3-star defensive lineman Blake Smythe on Friday evening. The Franklin Community H.S. (Franklin, Ind.) product is the No. 73 defensive lineman in the nation according to the On3 Industry average. Smythe picked IU over five other finalists \u2014 Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisville and Michigan State. Indiana offered Smythe a scholarship in January.\u00a0 He made multiple visits to IU including for the 66-0 win over Purdue in November. The 6-foot-3 and 290-pound Smythe projects to play along the interior of the defensive front under the direction of assistant coach Pat Kuntz. Smythe will be a legacy player at IU.\u00a0 His grandfather Mark Smythe played for the Hoosiers from 1979-83.\u00a0 He was a team captain and went on to play in the NFL.\u00a0 His father played college football as well. \u201cI feel like they have a great thing going and (it\u2019s great) to keep the Smythe legacy in Bloomington,\u201d he told On3\u2019s Steve Wiltfong. As a junior in 2024, Smythe posted 96 tackles (13 for loss) with 5.5 sacks and three pass breakups.\u00a0 He was named first team all-conference and to the 5A IFCA Junior All-State team.\u00a0 He also plays along the offensive line and plays baseball at Franklin. Indiana now has seven commits in its rapidly expanding 2026 class.\u00a0 Smythe is the second interior defensive lineman and second player from Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Football Strength and Conditioning Coach Derek Owings Signs New Contract after Turning Down USC <\/strong> Indiana football director of athletic performance Derek Owings\u00a0emerged as a strong candidate for a head strength and conditioning coach opening with USC,\u00a0per a report from 247Sports.<\/a> But just over two hours after that report surfaced, things already changed.\u00a0ESPN has now reported\u00a0Owings is signing a new three-year contract with \u201ca big pay raise\u201d that will keep him in Bloomington. Owings is set to enter his sixth season working with IU head coach Curt Cignetti, joining his James Madison staff in 2020 and following him to Bloomington ahead of spring 2024. Cignetti and Indiana players, on multiple occasions, attributed Owings for the team\u2019s physicality and strength across the board. Owings also played a role in the Hoosiers staying relatively healthy throughout last season. They lost Nick Kidwell and Drew Evans to season-ending injuries, and Kurtis Rourke missed time with a thumb injury suffered during the Nebraska game, but they rarely lost any players to the sorts of soft tissue injuries that can easily spring up in football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaining Owings ensures continuity for Cignetti\u2019s program entering the summer. Fall camp doesn\u2019t begin until August, and May and June are heavy recruiting months for the coaching staff. But the summer leading into fall camp is a key window for individual work, particularly with strength and conditioning. The Hoosiers will now avoid any hiccups with that important summer work. This isn\u2019t the first time Indiana\u2019s faced a situation like this. Defensive coordinator Bryant Haines was linked with other defensive coordinator job openings earlier in the offseason, and Indiana gave him a new contract to keep him around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Baseball Head Coach Jeff Mercer Picks up his 200th Win as the Hoosier Head Coach Friday Night <\/strong> Timely two-run hits from a trio of Hoosiers helped the Indiana Baseball team (25-21, 12-12 B1G) to a commanding Friday night victory in Texas. IU took the lead in the second inning and never trailed as it finished off an 8-4 victory over Abilene Christian at Bullock Brothers Ballpark. Redshirt senior catcher\u00a0Jake Stadler\u00a0and freshman outfielder\u00a0Hogan Denny\u00a0each had two-run home runs while freshman first baseman\u00a0Jake Hanley\u00a0worked a two-out, two-run double to help the Hoosiers put up crooked numbers in the second and sixth innings. Seven different Hoosiers had a hit in the ballgame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior southpaw Ryan Kraft (W, 2-1) and graduate student right-handed pitcher Cole Gilley (SV, 1) combined to throw all nine innings. Outside of two pitches, Kraft was outstanding in six innings of work. He matched a career high with seven strikeouts and didn’t allow a single walk in the ballgame. Gilley finished off the final nine outs with four strikeouts and just one hit. IU took advantage of eight free passes from the Abilene Christian pitching staff. Redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson reached twice on a pair of walks while freshman shortstop Cooper Malamazian was on due to a walk and hit-by-pitch. The Hoosiers scored six runs with two outs on the night. Head coach Jeff Mercer \u2013 who is also now 3-0 while coaching third base this year \u2013 recorded the 200th win of his IU career. After taking over the program before the 2019 season, he has continued to build a tradition of winning in Bloomington. He’s the fourth coach in IU history to reach 200 wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Softball takes down Archrival Purdue in Extra Innings <\/strong> After Indiana led 3-0 early on, the Hoosiers and Purdue ended up tied at 3-3 through the first seven innings on Friday night at Bittinger Stadium. In the top of the ninth, Indiana got the bats clicking again and pulled ahead 5-3 to hold on for the series opening win. The rivalry win puts Indiana’s season record at 31-16 overall and 9-11 in the Big Ten. Indiana got on the board in top of the first inning when\u00a0Kinsey Mitchell\u00a0doubled to the wall in left center, bringing\u00a0Avery Parker\u00a0home for a 1-0 lead. \u00a0 In the bottom of the second,\u00a0Brianna Copeland\u00a0threw a strikeout to start and end the half inning. \u00a0Taylor Minnick\u00a0went yard for a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning, launching the ball over the center field wall to put Indiana up 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Madalyn Strader got the Hoosiers out of the fourth inning with a leaping grab to catch the line drive off of Alivia Meeks’ bat. Purdue’s Julia Gossett got the Boilermakers on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to cut into Indiana’s lead and make it 3-1. With two runners on, Cassidy Kettleman made the inning-ending out in foul territory to stall Purdue’s bats. Purdue tied the game at 3-3 with two runs scored on back-to-back sacrifice flies in the bottom of the seventh inning to send the game to extra innings. The Boilermakers had the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning. Copeland pitched Polar into a groundout to Bird at first to escape the jam. Indiana put together the winning rally in the top of the ninth inning. Mitchell opened the frame with a double to the left center wall. Then, Aly VanBrandt<\/dfn> bunted for a single and moved Mitchell to third base.  Melina Wilkison hit a sac fly out to center field and brought Mitchell home to take a 4-3 lead. Strader chipped in with an RBI single to left center after Wilkison, bringing VanBrandt home and making it a 5-3 game.  Both of Mitchell’s hits were doubles. With the win, Copeland’s record improved to 15-7. Minnick’s home run increased her career total to 43, tying the program’s all-time record held by Copeland. Indiana outhit Purdue, 7-5. Minnick (2), Mitchell (1), Wilkison (1) and Strader (1) each recorded at least one RBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
