ESPN: Former TCU Quarterback Josh Hoover Commits to Indiana

Josh Hoover, who threw 3,472 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2025, will compete to replace Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza as Indiana's starting quarterback.

  • Former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover committed to the Indiana Hoosiers after visiting this weekend, sources told ESPN, and he will enroll in January to compete for the starting role as Fernando Mendoza is expected to enter the NFL draft.
  • With Fernando Mendoza expected to enter the NFL draft, Indiana pursued Josh Hoover as a proven, multiyear starter fitting Curt Cignetti's transfer quarterback strategy.
  • This season Hoover completed 65.9% of his passes for 3,472 yards, 29 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, while reports differ on his eligibility status with one or two years remaining.
  • Indiana added Nick Marsh, Turbo Richard and Tobi Osunsanmi to its transfer haul, while Hoover's arrival further reloads the roster ahead of the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Jan. 9.
  • Hoover's return to a previous suitor highlights Indiana's portal appeal, underscoring the transfer-portal strategy that led to back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances under Curt Cignetti.
