A.J. Barner, Malachi Holt-Bennett, and Chris Keys have all announced via their Twitter that they would be entering the transfer portal today. Indiana now has seven players in the transfer portal, five from the offensive side of the ball, one special teams player, and one defensive player.
A.J. Barner had been with the Hoosiers since 2020 and made big jumps in production every year at Indiana. He appeared in all eight games of the 2020 season as a freshman, but almost exclusively on special teams.
Barner got his first start at tight end in 2021, though he saw action in all 12 games at the position, cementing his place in the lineup with his first multiple reception game in Indiana’s 38-3 loss to Rutgers.
