Indiana Football: National Signing Day Preview

A top 50 class in the country as it stands now, this class is gearing up to be the best in Indiana football history.

National Signing Day is tomorrow, and the Indiana Hoosiers are still in the hunt for a handful of recruits.

With the recent commitment from OL Tim Weaver, Indiana has four spots left to fill for their 2019 recruiting class, which is already a top 50 class nationally.

Here are some updates on the recruits that the Hoosiers have a chance of landing come Wednesday.

Cecil Powell (Fort Lauderdale, FL; Safety)

Decommitting from Baylor over the weekend, it looks to be a 50-50 split with the Hoosiers and N.C. State.

Powell took an official to Indiana the weekend of Jan. 18 and then N.C. State the weekend of Jan. 25, but rumors have been put out there that makes it seem there is optimism around Bloomington about a possible commitment.

247 Sports currently has him ranked as a three-star prospect, with a 71 percent chance of landing in Raleigh as a member of the N.C. State Wolfpack.

Kristian Williams (Memphis, TN; Defensive Tackle)

Another recruit who decommited from his former school over the last couple of days, Williams’ top schools now seem to be between Indiana and Oregon.

As of now, he seems to be more of an Oregon lean, but there is still talk about a possible Indiana commitment.

Though Memphis is a long shot, they are still in the running, albeit as a distant third.

Williams is a three-star prospect, ranked 388 in the country. 

TJ Jones (Lake City, FL; Wide Receiver)

It is down between two Big Ten schools in Penn State and Indiana for the wideout.

With not many other options at the wide receiver position in the 2019 class for the Hoosiers, TJ Jones has been a high priority for Indiana.

Penn State has the recent success with star wide receivers, but Indiana may come out on top with Jones. Too close to call as of now, despite the optimism coming from Bloomington.

TJ Jones is another three-star prospect that is the number 74 wide receiver in the country.

Ira Henry (Saint Louis, MO; Offensive Tackle)

Down to four schools, Florida State, Indiana, Illinois, and Auburn, it is a split whether or not he will end up a Hoosier.

With an official visit to Bloomington over the weekend, it was said to have gone as good as hoped with Henry.

Ranked as the 75 overall offensive tackle, Henry is a three-star recruit.

Kamaar Bell (Moultrie, GA, Offensive Guard)

The Hoosiers swooped in last minute to get Bell on campus over the weekend, hoping to make a great impression on the Georgia native.

More of a long shot for an Indiana commit, Bell also has Florida State and Auburn on his final list.

With a large emphasis on offensive lineman in their 2019 class, if the Hoosiers fail to get a commitment from Bell, it probably means they get one from Ira Henry.

Bell is ranked as a three-star prospect, and the 34 guard in the country.

Some other names that will play a role in National Signing Day are OT Dawand Jones (Indiana, USC, Florida, Penn St, Ohio State), S Jared Hopper (Indiana, Colorado), OT Danielson Ike (Oklahoma, Indiana, SMU), S Josh Sanguinetti (Indiana, Boston College, Miss St), and DE Latrell Jean (Indiana, Florida Atlantic).
