Indiana football lands FCS All-American corner Cedarius Doss out of the transfer portal
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football got a verbal commitment from FCS All-American cornerback Cedarius Doss on Sunday afternoon.
Doss announced his decision on social media.
The move gives Indiana some added depth in the secondary with Nic Toomer moving over to safety. The Hoosiers have Kobee Minor, Jamari Sharpe, Jamier Johnson and JoJo Johnson in the mix for playing time at the spot. Minor and Sharpe both played more than 500 snaps at corner last season.
Doss had 35 tackles (22 solo) with 2.4 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and 10 passes defended with three interceptions last season for Austin Peay. According to Pro Football Focus, he only allowed 26 receptions on 51 targets for 236 passing yards while limiting opposing quarterbacks to a 65.5 rating.
The site gave Doss a 90.7 overall coverage grade.
Indiana's new coach Curt Cignetti expects to add additional talent during the spring transfer window that officially opens on April 16. The team had additional attrition during camp with defensive tackle Philip Blidi, wide receiver Kamryn Perry and running back Trent Howland all opting to leave.
The Hoosiers will wrap up spring camp on Thursday night with an exhibition at Memorial Stadium.
