Lincoln Murff brings veteran depth and academic discipline to Indiana’s DB room
Murff is a redshirt sophomore defensive back at Indiana whose value is more about reliability, preparation, and depth than box-score production; the Hoosiers roster lists him at 5-foot-10, 184 pounds, and notes he has not seen game action yet while earning Academic All-Big Ten honors[6][12]. His background as a productive Ben Davis wide receiver, plus the program’s willingness to keep him as a walk-on, suggests a smart, competitive player with some two-way football instincts and a strong team-first profile[6][12]. He fits best as a developmental depth piece for a staff that values intelligence, consistency, and special-teams upside over immediate starting impact[6][12].
