The Spring Portal Has Closed. Now What?
Taking note of Indiana's 2025 roster, now that the spring portal has closed, and looking ahead to where the staff adds and how it fits its pieces together.
The college football transfer portal closed for the Spring on Friday, meaning no one can officially enter his name into the portal until after the 2025 regular season. Some might declare during the season (we saw guys preserve eligibility with their redshirts last year), but they can’t actually move until they enter their names into the portal after the season.
So, barring any late paperwork processing, there shouldn’t be any subtractions from the current roster. The staff still has room to make a handful of additions too.
As a reminder, this is how Indiana handled the spring portal after the Spring Game in 2024:

CB Kobee Minor
