2009 Secondary

We signed two players in the secondary. Lawrence Barnett will play CB and Nick Zachery will start out at Safety.
1) Lawrence Barnett- he broke his ankle in the first game last season that made him sit the rest of the year but he was a very important factor in his teams state run in football and basketball his junior year. Because he didn't play much his senior year I believe he is flying under the radar. He's not very tall (listed around 5'9) but he is very physical. Lynch said that he could be one of the incoming freshman physically ready to contribute. There will be a lot of competition at the CB spot but I am excited to see Lawrence compete. He is also a very dangerous return man. Right when he committed his recruiting was starting to pick up. He picked IU 6 days after getting an offer from Michigan State. The day he broke his ankle he got a call from the hoosiers re-assuring him of his scholarship and I think that meant a lot to him. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people during his time at IU.

2) Nick Zachery- played at a small school in Sheridan High School. However, he had so much success during his time there. He finished his high school career at 64-4 and was Mr. Indiana Football Runner Up. He led his team to 3 state championships and played a wide variety of positions. Lynch and company will start him out at safety. He was also nominated to play on the USA national team.
