Indiana Lands Top Defender from Notre Dame
5 Jan
Summary
- Former Notre Dame defensive end Joshua Burnham transferred to Indiana.
- Burnham had 65 tackles and 6 sacks in his four-year career with the Irish.
- Indiana is on an undefeated streak and won the Big Ten conference.
Indiana's football program has landed a key transfer from a rival, with former Notre Dame defensive end Joshua Burnham choosing to join the Hoosiers. Burnham brings four years of experience from South Bend, where he accumulated 65 tackles and 6 sacks. This acquisition comes as Indiana has experienced a remarkable surge, maintaining an undefeated record and securing the Big Ten championship over previously unbeaten Ohio State.
The Hoosiers' impressive performance saw them ranked No. 1 entering the College Football Playoff. Notably, they were the only team in the 12-team format to secure a win following a bye week. This success underscores the program's upward trajectory under head coach Curt Cignetti, signaling a potential sustained period of dominance.
Burnham's decision to transfer to Indiana means he will now play for the only team that defeated the Fighting Irish in the past calendar year. His move signifies a strong belief in Indiana's current program and future potential, with aspirations of competing in future College Football Playoff matchups.
