Tom Allen announces Indiana OLB has been dismissed from team
Tom Allen announced Thursday that an outside linebacker is no longer on Indiana’s roster. Outside linebacker Jaren Handy has been dismissed from the team.
Allen indicated it wasn’t just a single incident that led to parting with Handy, per Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star:
Handy was one of only three players on IU’s defense last season to post double-digit pressures (11). The other two have also moved on, Micah McFadden to the draft and Ryder Anderson due to graduation. That’s a loss for Indiana. #iufb

“Series of incidents” led to Handy’s dismissal per Tom Allen.
“I would say it was more of a collective. It wasn’t just one thing.” #iufb

Handy joined the Hoosiers in 2021 after 2 seasons at Auburn (2019-20). Handy played in 9 games this past season before suffering a season-ending injury. He recorded 19 tackles, including a career-high 7 at Maryland.
