One of Indiana’s top players in the transfer portal has just learned that head coach Curt Cignetti wants his player to bring a humble approach to practice and game days.
Just a few months after celebrating the first national championship in program history, Cignetti and the Hoosiers have begun their spring construction for the 2026 college football season. Indiana is expected to be a playoff contender again this year. And this is partly due to a strong transfer portal class.
Two notable players the school brought to the portal are former TCU starting quarterback Josh Hoover and talented Michigan State wide receiver Nick Marsh. The pair were brought in to fill the huge void left by Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza and star pass catcher Omar Cooper, Jr.
It seems Marsh is well aware of the high expectations from the defending champions. And he looked forward to facing them with confidence after wearing gold cleats for practice on Thursday. Well, that didn’t sit well with their new head coach. Not even one bit.
Indiana transfer chewed out by Curt Cignetti during spring practice
“I didn’t like his gold shoes he wore today,” Cignetti told the media after Thursday’s practice. “He found out what it meant to get your ass busted. I don’t know if that happened to him very often at Michigan State. This was before the practice started. That was a wake-up call.”
Clearly, the coach has no interest in Marsh bringing whatever spunk and showmanship he might allow with the Spartans in Indiana. It is definitely worrying to “explode” so soon after joining the team. However, the coach also said he thought the receiver was working hard in practice and doing a “great job.”
