BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti has wasted no time reshaping his roster ahead of the early national signing day.

The Hoosiers were down to less than 50 projected scholarship players when he took over thanks to all the departures into the transfer portal.

In just three weeks, Cignetti has worked the transfer portal to land verbal commitments from seven players including a seasoned quarterback (Ohio's Kurtis Rourke), three productive FBS receivers (Texas Tech's Myles Price, Ohio's Miles Cross and Wake Forest's Ke-Shawn Williams) and a former four-star offensive tackle (Wisconsin's Tre Wedig).

Cignetti's new staff also convinced a handful of former James Madison commits to come over to Bloomington with them.

On the eve of early signing day, they landed a new headliner in this cycle by getting a verbal commitment from Center Grove quarterback Tyler Cherry. The one-time Duke commit is the highest-ranked recruit in the class — and second-highest quarterback recruit of all-time for IU — and one of the top in-state prospects.

Cignetti isn't showing signs of slowing down either to build out Indiana's 2024 signing class based on the comments he made on the radio last week that he has more verbal commitments lined up.
