Indiana football projected scholarships and transfer additions

Indiana is projected at 81 scholarship players after adding 12 transfer commitments, and the program still has room to add players while it awaits decisions from top draft prospects.

Indiana football has room to add players from the transfer portal as the program prepares for the 2026 season. The No. 1 Hoosiers are currently projected at 81 scholarship players after adding 12 commitments from transfers. These projections list everyone with eligibility remaining except quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has not announced his plans. The staff's pursuit of transfer quarterback Josh Hoover suggested they expected Mendoza to return. Current scholarship overview: - Projected scholarship total: 81 following 12 transfer commitments. - Roster by class: Seniors 20, Juniors 8, Sophomores 11, Freshmen 42 (20 redshirt freshmen). - Quarterbacks listed: Josh Hoover (R-Sr; TCU transfer), Alberto Mendoza (R-Soph), Jacob Bell (R-Fr). - The article lists players by position across offense and defense and notes several transfer additions at multiple spots. - Projections exclude Fernando Mendoza's decision; that choice could change available scholarship space. Summary: Indiana retains flexibility to add portal players while it reloads for the 2026 season, with current projections at 81 scholarships after 12 transfer commitments. The final number of available scholarships will likely shift once top draft prospects announce their futures after the national title game.
