Indiana linebacker Myles Jackson announces plans to transfer
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football linebacker Myles Jackson announced on social media he plans to enter the transfer portal with one year of eligibility left.
He's the first player to publicize his departure since news broke on Sunday morning that the university fired coach Tom Allen. The fall window for players to enter their name into the portal runs from Dec. 4 to Jan. 2, 2024.
