BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana football program announced today that offensive lineman Nick Linder will join the Hoosiers as a transfer from the University of Miami. A 6-3, 300-pounder, Linder earned his degree in finance and entrepreneurship and will have one year of eligibility.
"Nick Linder had a very strong career at Miami and we are excited to welcome him to our football program," IU head coach Tom Allen said. "He will be completing his master's degree through the Kelley School of Business and he will be an important addition to our football team."
Linder, who sat out the 2017 season, started 26 games during his Hurricanes career, including 22 at center (2015-16) and four at left guard as a true freshman (2014). He started the first nine games of 2016 before he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.
In 2015, Linder was one of only two players on the offensive line to start every game at the same position. Miami ranked 27th nationally in passing offense and fifth nationally in fewest tackles for loss allowed.
Linder graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. His brother, Brandon, is the starting center for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
