Indiana Football Just Found its BREAKOUT players for 2026! | Indiana Hoosiers Football

Indiana Football running back Khobie Martin is getting national attention as a potential breakout player for the 2026 college football season — but the Hoosiers may have much more than one breakout running back.

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana could have the deepest running back room in the Big Ten with Turbo Richard, Khobie Martin and Lee Beebe Jr., and why the running game could be critical to helping Josh Hoover lead another elite Indiana offense.

Plus, Locked On released its Top 100 players in college football. Carter Smith checks in at No. 11, Charlie Becker somehow falls to No. 65 and Josh Hoover lands at No. 81. Is Indiana once again being overlooked nationally?

We break down the rankings, the biggest Indiana snubs and why the Hoosiers' defense deserves significantly more respect heading into the 2026 season.
