Indiana’s wide receivers coach Grant Heard has left for the same position at UCF, per 247Sports’ Brandon Marcello. Heard had been with Indiana as a receivers coach for the past five seasons, and was promoted to assistant offensive coordinator ahead of the 2020 season. Tom Allen had hired him away from Ole Miss in 2017 as one of the first assistants on his new staff.
Heard coached receivers such as Ty Fryfogle, Whop Philyor, Simmie Cobbs Jr., and Nick Westbrook during his time at Indiana, all three of whom received All Big-Ten honors in some capacity.
