Included in the nominees is third-year forward Aiden Sherrell, a 2024 McDonald&#8217;s All-American, who averaged 7.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 blocks in 16.1 minutes per game in two seasons at Alabama. He compiled three career double-doubles, was on the floor for 53 wins, and advanced to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament twice.  Sherrell enjoyed a breakout second season in Tuscaloosa. He started all 34 games played for the Crimson Tide and averaged 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game. The Detroit native scored in double figures on 19 occasions, reached the 20-point plateau four times, and posted three double-doubles. He ranked 13th nationally in blocked shots per game (2.2).  \u00a0<br>The Indiana Hoosiers will open the season at 7 p.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 2, against Eastern Illinois at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KARL MALONE POWER FORWARD OF THE YEAR AWARD PRESEASON CANDIDATES*<br>Paulius Murauskas, Arizona State<br>Miikka Muurinen, Arkansas<br>Jaxon Kohler, BYU<br>Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje, Duke<br>Alex Condon, Florida<br>Braden Huff, Gonzaga<br>Joseph Tugler, Houston<br>David Mirkovic, Illinois<br>Aiden Sherrel<a href=\"https:\/\/iuhoosiers.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/aiden-sherrell\/21072\">l<\/a>, Indiana<br>Keanu Dawes, Kansas<br>Malik Reneau, Miami<br>J.P.

Indiana swimming and diving alum, director operations and pro athlete Van Mathias broke the 100-meter breaststroke world record Thursday night at USA Swimming Short Course World Championship Trials inside the FMC Natatorium in Westmont, California.  Mathias touched in 55.14 and eclipsed Belarusian Ilya Shymanovich&#8217;s previous world record of 55.28 from 2021. In prelims Thursday morning, Mathias set the American and U.S. Open records with a time of 55.48 and has now set the national standard in both the short course and long course 100m breaststroke events. Between Mathias and former IU swimmer Lilly King, Hoosiers own eight American records in breaststroke events. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s Mathias&#8217; first individual world record, second overall. He helped the United States set the world standard in the 4&#215;100-meter medley relay (3:36.70) this summer at the Pan Pacific Championships.   With Friday night&#8217;s winning performance, Mathias will represent the United States at the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) 2026, December 1-6 in Beijing.   Mathias was an All-American swimmer at IU from 2018-23 before becoming the program&#8217;s director of operations ahead of its 2024-25 collegiate season. He returned to competitive swimming during the summer of 2025 and has set two world records and five American records since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Wrestler<\/strong> <strong>Aaron Johnson to Compete at Senior World Championships<\/strong>                                                                                                       Indiana Wrestling alum Aaron Johnson will continue his international career at the United World Wrestling&#8217;s Senior World Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.

The competition at heavyweight will take place from Oct. 30-31.\u00a0\u00a0He will open his tournament with a match in the qualification round against Ukraine&#8217;s Yurii Idzinskyi.   Johnson joined Indiana&#8217;s roster in January 2024 after transferring from the University of the Cumberlands.

The Indianapolis Colts\u2019 anticipated reboot went into overdrive Tuesday with Nelson\u2019s trade to Seattle and DeForest Buckner being traded to the San Francisco 49ers.  With the Buckner move, the Colts recoup a 2027 fourth-round pick and the 49ers assume the final $7.944 million of his \u201926 salary. Buckner is in the final year of his two-year, $46 million contract.  Buckner is returning to where his NFL career began. The 49ers drafted him in the first round of the 2016 draft and then traded him to the Colts in March 2020 for the 13<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;overall pick in the draft. Over the past six-plus seasons, Buckner established himself as a franchise and defensive cornerstone. His mural hangs, along with Nelson\u2019s, on the outside of Lucas Oil Stadium.  \u201cHe\u2019s a dawg, obviously,\u2019\u2019 coach Shane Steichen said last month. \u201cOne of the best in the league and somebody that\u2019s proven himself year after year in this league. The film he\u2019s put out already this year, he\u2019s dominant, especially in the pass rush and the run game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving him healthy and him playing as fast as he is and do what he does, that changes the game for us.\u2019\u2019  Buckner\u2019s seventh season with the Colts nearly didn\u2019t happen. He considered retirement after undergoing surgery on New Year\u2019s Eve to address a herniated disc in his neck that was pressing on a nerve and robbing him of his strength.  \u201cObviously when things like that happen, I found myself in some deep, dark thoughts about what I\u2019m going to do,\u2019\u2019 he said during the offseason. \u201cJust talking to the people closest to me \u2013 just talking through all the emotions \u2013 I\u2019m in a good space where obviously I want to be out there this year.  \u201cI\u2019m going to do whatever it takes to be out there by week 1.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He followed an exhaustive rehab schedule and not only was ready for the season-opener against Baltimore but has been the Colts\u2019 premier defensive player. Again.  In seven starts, the 6-7, 295-pounder shares the team high with 4 sacks to go along with eight quarterback hits and four tackles for loss.  Buckner\u2019s 47 sacks are a Colts\u2019 record for a defensive tackle and the fourth-most in team history.  He\u2019s a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was first-team All-Pro in 2020 and second team in \u201919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his individual successes, Buckner grew increasingly frustrated with the team\u2019s shortcomings. The Colts reached the playoffs in his first season in 2020 but haven\u2019t been back. They\u2019re 2-12 since opening last season 8-2.  After the embarrassing 16-10 loss to previously winless Tennessee on Oct. 18, Buckner\u2019s anger simmered to the surface. It was mentioned Steichen was \u201cpissed off\u2019\u2019 during his post-game press conference.  \u201cYeah, I\u2019m pissed off, too,\u2019\u2019 Buckner said. \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of the same song and dance every year.\u2019\u2019   After owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon fired general manager Chris Ballard Oct. 19, Buckner was asked about his immediate future with the team. Trades were anticipated.  \u201cYeah, right now I\u2019m just focused on the Vikings,\u2019\u2019 he said of the upcoming game with Minnesota.  But honestly, he was focused on more than that.  \u201cAll I care about is winning,\u2019\u2019 Buckner said. \u201cMy main things are winning and being able to compete for a Super Bowl.  Done.  From the 2-5 Colts to the 6-1 49ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton \u201cweek-to-week\u201d with left hamstring strain<\/strong>                                                                                                                             Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton will be \u201cweek-to-week\u201d with a \u201cmild\u201d left hamstring strain, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said.  Carlisle said he does not think it is realistic for Haliburton to play in the next two weeks.   Haliburton has played in all four games this season after returning from his torn Achilles. Haliburton is averaging 21.8 points and 9.5 assists per game this season on 51.6% shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indianapolis Colts place cornerback on the injured reserve list<\/strong>                                                                                                                                                           The Indianapolis Colts have placed cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt on the injured reserve list after sustaining a groin injury in Minnesota.  The injury happened during the Vikings only touchdown drive in the fourth quarter of Sunday\u2019s 16-10 loss. Taylor-Britt will miss at least the next four games while on IR.  Taylor-Britt has played in six games this season after being suspended for Week 1\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishtv.com\/sports\/indianapolis-colts\/colts-cam-taylor-britt-suspended-for-week-1-after-violating-nfls-personal-conduct-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">s<\/a> matchup against the Ravens. He\u2019s logged seven tackles, including one tackle for loss and one sack, during his short time with the Colts.   Taylor-Britt joined the Colts this offseason after spending the last four years with Cincinnati. He started in 40 games while with the Bengals.  The Colts get ready to play the AFC South-leading Jaguars on the road on Sunday. The Colts haven\u2019t won in Jacksonville in 11 years. Through seven weeks, Indy sits 2.5 games back of the Jags in the division standings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University Men&#8217;s Basketball&#8217;s Aiden Sherrell Named to Karl Malone Award Watchlist The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced the 20 watch-list candidates for the 2027 Karl Malone Award.
