As Indiana approaches the 2026 football season, the tight end position raises significant questions. The only player with collegiate experience is Brock Schott, a transfer from Miami, who has caught just two passes. Rising sophomores Andrew Barker and Blake Thiry, along with freshman Trevor Gibbs, round out the tight end group, all with little prior production. Schott, recovering from hip surgery, looks to solidify his role as a starter during the upcoming season. The team is focused on developing the tight end position, which has been crucial in previous years.
