Versatile Indiana walk-on with two-way high school production
Kropp is a developmental **redshirt freshman** RB at Indiana whose appeal is versatility: at New Palestine he produced as both a runner and receiver, finishing his senior year with 562 rushing yards and 784 receiving yards while also scoring 19 total touchdowns, and he joined IU as a preferred walk-on. [7][13] At **6-foot-2, 209 pounds**, he brings a bigger frame than the typical change-of-pace back, plus special-teams value and a background as a dynamic all-purpose playmaker, which makes him more interesting as a fit for a program that values multiplicity and roster depth than as an immediate box-score star.
