#1. Bradley Jennings Jr. – LB

Week 6 stats: 13 total tackles, 6 solo tackles, 1 TFL, 1 pass defended

The fifth-year senior transfer from Miami (FL) recorded the most tackles in a game in his career in the game against Michigan. Jennings Jr. has the fifth most total tackles (30) and fourth most tackles for loss (3.5) on this Indiana football program this season and only continues to prove his worth week-by-week.

Tom Allen pointed out that Jennings Jr. played “extremely well” in this game and that he really stepped up in a game without the Hoosiers’ best linebacker, Cam Jones. If Jennings Jr. can continue to show up in a big way without Jones in the lineup, look out for when Jones comes back and a linebacker duo of Jones and Jennings Jr. leads the Hoosiers’ defense for the rest of the 2022 season.
