Class of 2025 quarterback Jacob Bell flips commitment to Indiana football

Christmas just got a little more merry for Indiana football.

Three-star class of 2025 quarterback Jacob Bell announced his commitment to IU on social media on Wednesday morning.

The Naperville, Ill. native received an offer from Indiana on Tuesday, and announced he was decommitting from Ball State just hours later. Bell initially committed to the Cardinals in June.

The Hoosiers were Bell’s first power four offer. He held other FBS offers rom Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Marshall, Ohio, and Western Michigan.

Bell was named Naperville Sun player of the year after a strong senior season. Per MaxPreps, he completed 251 passes in 397 attempts, racking up 3,082 yards over 10 games with 38 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. He also ran for 142 yards on 40 attempts with four rushing touchdowns.

This is the first quarterback commitment in Indiana’s high school class of 2025. The Hoosiers also added Fernando Mendoza out of the transfer portal from California on Tuesday, while Tayven Jackson entered the portal earlier in the week.
