No. 7 Indiana expects star CB D'Angelo Ponds back vs. No. 3 Oregon
Indiana's D'Angelo Ponds (5) at Indiana University football practice on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025. No. 7 Indiana is expected to get standout cornerback D'Angelo Ponds back for Saturday's top-10 matchup at No. 3 Oregon, head coach Curt Cignetti told reporters Monday.
A first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-American cornerback in 2024 for the Hoosiers, Ponds missed Indiana's 20-15 win at Iowa on Sept. 27 with an undisclosed injury before the team's recent bye week.
Ponds has 11 tackles, three tackles for loss, an interception and a blocked punt he also recovered for a touchdown in four games this season.
He has 118 tackles, 22 pass deflections and six interceptions over three seasons. He followed Cignetti from James Madison to Indiana ahead of the 2024 campaign.
