In a move that’s raising eyebrows across the Big Ten, the Indiana Hoosiers have quietly secured the services of veteran quarterback Grant Wilson — a signing many analysts are calling “unexpected” given the team’s existing depth chart. Wilson, who most recently led Old Dominion with over 2,000 passing yards and 17 touchdowns in 2023, brings a level of experience and maturity that suggests this was more than just a depth move.
While the Hoosiers haven’t made a grand announcement, insiders say this addition is a deliberate strategy by new head coach Curt Cignetti to challenge the status quo in the quarterback room — possibly hinting at upcoming changes or dissatisfaction with current options. Wilson’s history of stepping up in high-pressure situations and his strong football IQ make him a wildcard to watch.
Speculation is swirling about whether Wilson will be a backup, a mid-season starter, or something even more pivotal. For a program in transition, this “under-the-radar” signing could signal that Indiana isn’t just rebuilding — they might be plotting a Big Ten shake-up.
