Episode Details

Indiana football continues to benefit from its historic national championship season, and the latest example comes on the recruiting trail.

On today's episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down the commitment of 2027 safety Brady Scott, a prospect from Massachusetts who represents a major recruiting milestone for Curt Cignetti and the Indiana football program. The Hoosiers have not signed a player from Massachusetts in more than a decade, making this commitment another sign that Indiana's recruiting reach is expanding nationally.

Is this the beginning of the "National Championship Effect" in recruiting?

We discuss why Brady Scott fits Indiana's defensive philosophy, why the Hoosiers trust their evaluations more than recruiting rankings, and what Indiana still needs to add to the 2027 recruiting class moving forward.

Plus, the first five kickoff times for the 2026 Indiana football season have been announced. We break down:

🏈 Indiana vs. North Texas

🏈 Indiana vs. Howard

🏈 Indiana vs. Western Kentucky

🏈 Indiana vs. Northwestern

🏈 Indiana vs. Rutgers

Including:

✅ Big Noon Kickoff coming to Bloomington

✅ Multiple national television appearances

✅ Why Indiana has a realistic path to a 5-0 start

✅ The biggest challenges later in the season

We also discuss another major milestone for the Indiana football brand as Curt Cignetti and Memorial Stadium are featured on the Deluxe Edition cover of EA Sports College Football 27. From recruiting success to national television exposure to appearing on one of the biggest sports video games in the world, Indiana football continues to prove that its rise is no longer a regional story—it's a national one.
