Indiana is returning 3 OL starters: OG Bray Lynch, OG Drew Evans, and OT Carter Smith. Freshman OT Adedamola Ajani also started a few games this year and will likely move into the 2026 starting lineup. There's a chance Carter Smith might enter the draft, but unknown at this time (this would be devastating). There isn't much depth/experience behind these guys and OL is the one glaring area Indiana hasn't addressed yet in the portal. At the moment, the only publicly known OL portal targets for IU are: Joe Brunner (WIS) and Quinton Harris (TCU). If IU signs Brunner he will start at OG and Drew Evans would move from OG to C. I think Harris would just be a depth piece. I have to imagine there are other OL targets for Indiana but the names haven't come out yet. After the Brunner visit, the prevailing thought was he is Indiana's to lose (obviously this isn't over yet). At this stage of portal, Brunner is one of two remaining priority targets for Indiana (Penn State CB A.J. Harris is the other).
