15. Indiana Hoosiers
The personnel: Aiden Fisher, Isaiah Jones, Nahji Logan, Joshua Rudolph, Kaiden Turner, Jailin Walker
Two James Madison transfers — Fisher and Walker — headline a new-look Indiana linebacker corps in 2024. The duo finished as the top individual tacklers for the Dukes last season, combining to make 169 total tackles, including 11.5 for loss with three sacks, an interception, 11 pass breakups, six quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles and a blocked kick. Whether the newcomers can have that same level of production in the Big Ten is uncertain. Rudolph is one of the few returning pieces at this position for the Hoosiers after appearing in all 12 games last season as a transfer from Austin Peay.
