Indiana has made a home-run hire with its next strength and conditioning coach.

Matthew Weaver of Peegs.com reported on Saturday that Indiana has hired Aaron Wellman to be the next strength coach for the Hoosiers. He will replace David Ballou, who left Bloomington to take on the same role at Alabama.

Wellman comes to Indiana after spending the last four seasons with the New York Giants in the same role. Wellman got started with the Giants in 2016, after spending the 2015 season at Notre Dame.

Wellman brings plenty of experience to Bloomington and is an excellent replacement to Ballou. Not only is Wellman an Indiana native, he’s had stops at Michigan (2011-14), San Diego State (2009-11), and Ball State (2004-09) and Michigan State (2001-03). He was previously with the Hoosiers from 1997-2001.

Wellman is a graduate of Manchester College.
