We checked in with Waubonsie Valley senior kicker Mitch Ewald last week for the Sunday column, and after a busy offseason he thinks he'll have a good chance to win the job at Indiana.
"I'll be the kicker on scholarship," Ewald said. "It comes down to whoever performs in camp."
The Hoosiers will need to replace redshirt senior Austin Starr, who last season kicked all 17 of their field goals and handled 53 of 54 kickoffs. Indiana finished 3-9, with its only Big Ten victory coming against Northwestern.
"I definitely know that my coaches have high expectations (for) me and I have even higher expectations for myself," Ewald said. "But there's no doubt in my mind (that I'll) go down there and win the job. That's what my plan is."
