Jacob Savage brings downhill pop and special-teams-ready energy to Indiana's linebacker room
In the 2026 season, freshman Indiana linebacker Jacob Savage entered Bloomington as a consensus three-star recruit and a top-80 linebacker nationally, bringing a compact 6-foot, 225-pound frame, tackle production, and two-way toughness from Ryle High School. He was a big-play prep defender with 511 career tackles and also flashed offensive versatility, showing the kind of intensity and competitiveness coaches love. That blend makes him intriguing for a team that values physical, high-motor linebackers who can develop into reliable depth and impact special teams fast.
