Indiana’s hulking, dependable TE who wins with grit over flash
In the 2024 season, James Bomba was a redshirt senior 6-foot-6, 252-pound tight end who gave Indiana steady depth and blocking value, with 1 catch for 2 yards that year after posting 6 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown in 2023.[1][8] What makes him worth caring about isn’t gaudy receiving totals—it’s the combo of local-walk-on resilience, experience, and a reputation as a dependable in-line blocker who can help a team in the trenches and on special-role snaps.[1][7][15]
