Joe Brunner brings Big Ten-tested power and polish to Indiana’s front
In the 2026 season, Joe Brunner arrives at Indiana as a 6-foot-7, 315-pound redshirt senior with real starting experience, including 24 consecutive starts at left guard for Wisconsin and honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition. He stands out for his technical soundness, strong pass protection, heavy hands, and disciplined footwork, while evaluators also note his awareness versus blitzes and stunts. He’s not just a body in the room—he’s a culture add, praised for fitting Indiana’s staff and bringing reliability, toughness, and veteran poise to the Hoosiers’ offensive line.
