Penix had season ending injuries in 4 straight seasons (‘18-‘21). He gave IU all he had on/off the field, graduated and needed a fresh start. No IU fan friends of mine begrudge him leaving. He’s a great kid and a great player. We knew that. At IU his last 2 years, the OL was not good. Penix Just couldn’t stay healthy at IU, in part, because Tom Allen kept around his OL coach buddy, who sucked, 2 years too long.
Kalen DeBoer, IU’s OC in ‘19 had the in with him, got him to Seattle and has made him a star at UW…He also made Ramsey and Penix look pretty good in his 1 season in Bloomington. There are a lot of IU fans who hope he wins the Heisman.
