Indiana landed a commitment from Michigan State transfer wide receiver Nick Marsh, sources told ESPN on Sunday, a busy day of additions for the Hoosiers.
Marsh, one of the most coveted players in the transfer portal as the No. 3 receiver and No. 12 overall player in ESPN’s portal rankings, is transferring to join the Big Ten champions and will have two more years of eligibility.
The 6-foot-3, 203-pound sophomore led the Spartans in receiving in back-to-back seasons and produced 100 catches for 1,311 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Marsh announced his decision to transfer on Dec. 1 and officially entered the portal Friday.
The Detroit native was the No. 167 overall recruit in the 2024 ESPN 300 and set Michigan State true freshman records for catches (41) and receiving yards (649) in 2024. He recorded 12 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns in his two games against Indiana.
Marsh will give Indiana a proven playmaker to help replace senior Elijah Sarratt, the team’s second-leading receiver with 727 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns who’s set to graduate.
Also Sunday, the Hoosiers landed commitments from offensive stars who can play alongside Marsh. Former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover committed to Indiana after visiting this weekend, sources told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
