The Indiana Hoosiers are making waves early in the 2028 recruiting cycle, and this time, their sights are set on a promising young quarterback from North Carolina. After returning to Bloomington following a brief stint at UCLA, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tino Sunseri is wasting no time building for the future. Just as he did in 2024, Sunseri has been actively scouting and connecting with top quarterback talent to run head coach Curt Cignetti and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan's system.

Enter Kaden Craft, a standout passer from Lake Norman High School in Mooresville, North Carolina. Craft recently announced on social media that he received a scholarship offer from the Hoosiers during a conversation with Sunseri. The offer is part of Indiana's growing focus on the 2028 class, as they look to secure talent early for the years ahead.

Craft is already generating significant buzz on the recruiting trail. Rated as a 4-star prospect by 247Sports, he checks in as the No. 9 quarterback and No. 113 overall prospect in the 2028 class according to the 247Sports Composite. Both On3 and Rivals also grade him as a 4-star talent, with Rivals ranking him the No. 8 quarterback and No. 113 overall prospect in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Beyond Indiana, Craft's offer list is already impressive, featuring schools like South Carolina, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, and Florida, among others, per On3.

For Hoosier fans, this is a clear sign that the program is serious about competing for top-tier talent early—and that the future under center could be very bright.
