ahh, yes...if there was one thing the founders were known to be for it was unfettered power for the executive.

Simpson becomes the 1st commit for IU in the ‘26 high school class.
Simpson plays LT in his HUDL video but projects inside based on his size. He needs to continue to get more agile but plays with leverage and power through the whistle.
A very good start to ‘26 for IU. #iufb

Just wanted to throw in some Mendoza highlights. I could add more but only a 1 min limit…
Mendoza doesn’t have a massive arm but he can move, he makes the right reads, he’s deadly in the RPO and he’s a gamer.
He’s got keep getting better but the sky is the limit. #iufb

I really do think IU is a sleeping giant in football. I’ve been telling my friends and family that for the better part of 2 decades…
But it took a person like Cignetti, who combines gumption with results, to put the puzzle pieces together to galvanize the fan base.
