Former Indiana University Football Player Pat Coogan Signs His Rookie Contract with the Tennessee Titans <\/strong> The\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a0had a busy day on Thursday, hiring a new scout, signing 11 undrafted rookie free agents, and making progress with their 2026 draft class, inking five to their initial rookie contracts.\u00a0 The\u00a0Titans\u00a0signed fifth-round picks, Arkansas guard Fernando Carmona (142) and Penn State running back Nick Singleton (165), sixth-round picks, Baylor defensive tackle Jackie Marshall and Indiana center Pat Coogan, and seventh-round pick Oklahoma tight end Jaren Kanak (225) to their slotted rookie contracts.\u00a0With these five players locked up, the front office can turn its attention to their three remaining draft picks, Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate (first round), Auburn edge Keldric Faulk (first round), and Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. (second round). These contracts are also slotted, but there are usually a few more details to work out, especially with Hill. For the past few seasons, second-round draft picks have been slow to sign because of the percentage of guaranteed money in the final year of their contracts.\u00a0 The Titans hosted all of their rookies for the rookie minicamp that started yesterday and concludes today at Vanderbilt Health Football Center in Nashville.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Indiana University Men’s Basketball Player Jason Drake Transfers to Temple <\/strong> Former Indiana Hoosier guard Jason Drake committed to Temple, the program\u00a0announced\u00a0Thursday afternoon. He spent one season with the Hoosiers but did not play due to an injury and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.\u00a0 Drake started his career at Cleveland State as a freshman for the 2022-23 season. He played 16 games and averaged 5.6 minutes. He spent 2023-24 with Butler Community College and put up 9.6 points and 3.7 assists in 27 games.\u00a0 The 6-foot, 1-inch guard transferred back to Division I for the 2024-25 season and joined Drexel. Drake started all 33 games for the Dragons and averaged 11.1 points and 3.1 assists on 42.8% shooting from the field and 39.6% from three. Drake transferred to Indiana for the 2025-26 season but sustained a lower-body injury before the first game and never made an appearance. He is the fourth transfer the Owls have landed, joining guards\u00a0Dez\u00a0White,\u00a0Dallis\u00a0Dillard and forward\u00a0Baboucarr\u00a0Njie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Releases Pictures of the Pace Car Curt Cignetti Will Drive for the Indianapolis 500 <\/strong> Curt Cignetti has turned down a lot of speaking engagements and appearances offered since he led Indiana to the national championship. But he couldn\u2019t say no to driving the pace car at the Indy 500. \u201cIt\u2019s a great event, and it\u2019s part of the fabric of the state,\u201d Cignetti\u00a0Said.\u00a0 \u201cI can remember watching the Indy 500 growing up.\u00a0 I just hope I can handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car Cignetti will be handling is a Corvette ZR1x, known as America\u2019s quickest production car. \u201cAmerica\u2019s hypercar will be front and center at the Indianapolis 500, and it has the speed to stay there,\u201d Global Corvette and Performance Cars Team Executive Chief Engineer Tony Roma said in a release. \u201cThe ZR1X is made for the racetrack. This Corvette, inspired by America\u2019s 250th anniversary, will absolutely give Coach Cignetti and the fans a thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Corvette ZR1X delivers 1,250 horsepower across all four wheels, combining a 186-hp electric motor on the front axle with a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 putting 1,064 hp to the rear wheels. For Pace Car duty, the ZR1X is equipped with the Carbon Aero package, including dive planes on the front bumper, underbody aero strakes and the rear wing, which creates more than 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed. The Corvette ZR1X achieves incredible acceleration \u2013 capable of zero to 60 mph in under 2 seconds \u2013 and can reach 233 mph, approaching speeds seen by race cars in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cignetti was asked last month what was the fastest he has driven a car. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you the truth,\u201d Cignetti playfully responded. \u2026 \u201cI would not be setting a good example for the young people. \u201cBut I bought a new Audi SQ8 the first summer I was employed here (at IU) from down the road there, and that thing has got a lot of horsepower in it. One night within the first couple weeks that we owned it, my wife and I were returning from Ohio to see our son and there was nobody on the highway.\u00a0 I laid it down pretty quick; it\u2019s got a little juice in it. \u201cBut I\u2019m going to put the pedal to the metal when they tell me to in Indy.\u201d The 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 24, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Indiana University Football Players Appear in the First Round of 2027 NFL Mock Drafts <\/strong> After no first-round picks for more than 30 years, could IU football see multiple first round selections in back-to-back years? Could the Hoosiers tie or break records just set in 2026 with two or even three first round selections in the 2027 NFL Draft? There\u2019s a long way to go to next year\u2019s draft, and much will change between now and then.\u00a0 So, chalk this up to pure entertainment at this point. But here\u2019s what some outlets are thinking as it relates to IU football players one year out from the 2027 NFL Draft. Three players on the 2026 Indiana team are regulars in various way-too-early 2027 mock drafts published since the conclusion of the 2026 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Athletic\u2019s Dane Brugler\u00a0has wide receiver\u00a0Charlie Becker\u00a0going at No. 11, and his fellow Hoosier wideout\u00a0Nick Marsh\u00a0at No. 20. PFF has\u00a0left tackle\u00a0Carter Smith\u00a0going No. 18. CBS Sports has\u00a0Charlie Becker\u00a0going No. 32. USA Today has\u00a0Nick Marsh\u00a0going No. 23. FOX Sports has\u00a0Carter Smith\u00a0going No. 13. Sports Illustrated has\u00a0three Hoosiers going in the first round, with\u00a0Carter Smith\u00a0going No. 25,\u00a0Charlie Becker\u00a0No. 26, and\u00a0Nick Marsh\u00a0No. 32. NBC Sports also has\u00a0three Hoosiers in the first round, with\u00a0Carter Smith\u00a0going No. 26,\u00a0Nick Marsh\u00a0going No. 28, and\u00a0Charlie Becker\u00a0going No. 31. And Bleacher Report\u00a0has\u00a0Nick Marsh\u00a0going No. 11 and\u00a0Charlie Becker\u00a0at No. 18. So if you\u2019re keeping score at home, in eight mock drafts, Becker and Marsh appear in five, and Smith appears in four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After IU quarterback Fernando Mendoza went No. 1 overall in 2026, and Kurtis Rourke was drafted in 2025, it\u2019s reasonable to wonder if\u00a0Josh Hoover\u00a0will be the third-straight Hoosier quarterback to be drafted. Hoover didn\u2019t appear in any first round mock 2027 NFL Draft we surveyed.\u00a0 But to be fair, Mendoza was not a projected first-rounder at this time last year either. ESPN conducted a poll\u00a0of 10 NFL scouts for their way-too-early top three quarterback projections for the 2027 NFL Draft.\u00a0 Nine quarterbacks received a vote, but Hoover was not one of them. Oregon\u2019s Dante Moore, Texas\u2019 Arch Manning, and Ohio State\u2019s Julian Sayin led the way in the ESPN survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can IU meet or exceed the eight total players drafted in 2026 next year? Beyond Becker, Marsh and Smith, here are some of the other top contenders to hear their names called at some point in the 2027 NFL Draft: Running back\u00a0Turbo Richard, Guard\/Center\u00a0Drew Evans, Guard\u00a0Joe Brunner, Defensive tackle\u00a0Tyrique Tucker, Defensive end\u00a0Tobi Osunsanmi, Defensive end\u00a0Chiddi Obiazor, Linebacker\u00a0Isaiah Jones, Linebacker\u00a0Rolijah Hardy, Safety\u00a0Amare Ferrell, Cornerback\u00a0A.J. Harris and Cornerback\u00a0Jamari Sharpe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catilin Clark Plays Her First Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in 291 Days as the Indiana Fever Fall to the Dallas Wings in a Preseason Game <\/strong>The\u00a0Indiana Fever\u00a0fell\u00a095-80\u00a0to the Dallas Wings\u00a0on Thursday night\u00a0in their second preseason game of 2026.

Indiana and Dallas will face one another to tip off the 2026 WNBA regular season at\u00a0Gainbridge\u00a0Fieldhouse\u00a0on Saturday, May 9, at 1 p.m. ET, broadcast nationally on ABC.
