VIDEO: Indiana signs two skill player flips from B1G East teams
Indiana’s signing day drama was about whether or not it would land a pair of former B1G East commits.
Three-star running back Kiante Enis became a coveted prospect when he announced his decommitment from Michigan last month. Three-star wide receiver Taysir Mack had been committed to Rutgers since June, but he kept his options open up until National Signing Day.
On Wednesday, Indiana got both of them.
Enis, who had interest from Michigan State and Purdue, narrowed it down to Indiana and Miami (OH) before announcing his decision on Wednesday morning.

The Winchester High School (IN) standout cited wanting to stay closer to home following his Michigan decommitment and that there was no pulled offer.
Mack, however, didn’t announce he had changed his mind until Wednesday. The Brooklyn, NY native had been committed to Rutgers since the summer, but he took an official visit to Bloomington following the announcement of the new coaching staff.
He also visited Rutgers one more time last weekend. Ultimately, Indiana won out:

The 6-3 wideout had reportedly received offers from Boston College, Penn State and Vanderbilt, as well.
The Hoosiers currently boast the 11th-ranked class in the B1G and the 55th-ranked class overall in the 247sports rankings.
