Indiana’s low-usage, high-IQ walk-on forward with real program value
In the 2022-23 season, Hogan Orbaugh was a little-used Indiana forward who appeared in one game and finished with 0.0 points, rebounds, and assists per game in Big Ten play, but his value has been more about depth, familiarity, and practice impact than box-score fireworks. He’s a sturdy 6-8, 235-pound in-state product from Zionsville with prior game experience at Louisville, and multiple roster notes describe him as a former student assistant/walk-on type who brings work ethic and experience. If your team needs a bruising scoring forward, he’s not that guy; if you want toughness, maturity, and a glue-piece mentality, he fits the bill.
