Offensive line coach Bob Bostad has been looking all over the country for offensive line prospects, starting with home grown or close to proximity talent. And the Hoosiers are keeping tabs on a rising senior from a Northwest Chicago suburb in Owen Fors.
Three-star offensive line prospect Owen Fors from Barrington (IL) plans on making a second trip to Bloomington after being on campus back in October for a game day visit when the Hoosiers took on the Washington Huskies.
"I was able to make it up for their Washington game and got to meet all the coaches," he said. "I also got to see how their team operates." Fors told 247Sports about his visit to Bloomington in October
Fors also holds offers from Notre Dame, Illinois, Boston College, Northwestern, Western Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin.
The 6 foot 4, 290 pound offensive lineman has started games at every position on the offensive line but projects as an interior guard at the next level. Fors is ranked as the No. 67 interior offensive lineman and the No. 22 player in the state of Illinois for the class of 2026.
