Hoosiers receive LB commit

Orrville (Ohio) linebacker Chase Hoobler committed to Indiana following this weekend’s official visit. He is a 3 star from scout.com and had offers from Louisville, Boston College, Central Michigan, Ball State, and Akron. He is listed at 6'2 220 lbs and he totaled 167 tackles, 22 tackles and six sacks, and on offense he caught 22 passes for 375 yards and five scores as a tight end. He originally verballed to Akron until their coach got fired. That made him re-open his commitment. Hit head coach had this to say about him when speaking about Indiana.
“From the get-go, they used phrases like All-Big Ten linebacker,” Davault said. “They felt right off the bat he could play at a very high level for them right away. Now can he step in next year? Who knows. That depends on who they’ve got, but he’ll certainly make an impact right away.”
