Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

ND-USC rivalry renewed; IU nixes series vs. Irish
Notre Dame's reunion with USC, however, also will coincide with the departure of defending national champion Indiana from the Fighting Irish's future schedules, sources told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
In 2021, Notre Dame and Indiana announced a home-and-home series with the Hoosiers opening the 2030 season at Notre Dame, the slot USC will now fill. Notre Dame was set to visit Indiana in late September 2031. But both games will not be played, at Indiana's request, a source told Rittenberg. The desire to get USC back on the schedule in early-season slots drove the shuffling, along with Indiana's philosophy toward nonconference scheduling.
.
.
.
Indiana's scheduling approach has avoided Power 4 opponents, as the school in 2023 withdrew from the final two games of a series against Louisville, and then in 2025 canceled a home-and-home series against Virginia. The Hoosiers' College Football Playoff teams in 2024 and 2025 did not play any Power 4 opponents from outside the Big Ten during the regular season.
Notre Dame had been the only major nonleague opponent on Indiana's schedule, which is filled through 2029. Coach Curt Cignetti has said Indiana is focused on its nine Big Ten games per year, and athletic director Scott Dolson has said the school's approach will remain flexible depending on the size and format of the CFP.

Better Know a Buckeye: Physicality, IQ and Instincts Can Make Kaden Gebhardt A Difference-Making Safety Near the Line of Scrimmage
Kaden Gebhardt’s physical playmaking, sharp instincts and high football IQ give him the tools to emerge as a difference-maker at safety, especially near the line of scrimmage.
Better Know a Buckeye: Physicality, IQ and Instincts Can Make Kaden Gebhardt A Difference-Making Safety Near the Line of Scrimmage
Scouting Report
With a high football IQ, Gebhardt uses his instincts to take the right angle and beat the ball carrier to his spot more often than not. He shines closer to the line of scrimmage as a safety in the box, as Gebhardt is a hard-nosed player who is more physical than his size might show.While he's best when he's going downhill, Gebhardt's agility and ability to be quick in small areas allow him to be an effective zone defender.
Although his workout and testing numbers might not blow anyone away, Gebhardt's combination of toughness, IQ and quickness allows him to make plays all over the field.
Depth Chart Outlook
With a loaded group of safeties in 2026 that includes Jaylen McClain, Earl Little Jr., Terry Moore, Leroy Roker III, redshirt freshman Deshawn Stewart and fellow freshmen Blaine Bradford, Simeon Caldwell and Khmari Bing, among others, Gebhardt will likely have to wait his turn before making a significant impact on defense.Gebhardt – whose physical development as a freshman has been apparent with his “Dude of the Week” recognition earlier this summer – could be a candidate to make an early impact on special teams, which could help his chances of climbing the depth chart starting next season.
Login to view embedded media
Little and Moore are both fifth-year seniors while McClain is also a candidate to enter the 2027 NFL draft, so there will be playing time up for grabs at safety as early as next season.
Gebhardt will likely be a safety that plays closer to the line of scrimmage and in the box at Ohio State, a specific skill set that could earn him situational playing time earlier than expected as he attempts to work his way up to a future starting role.
