The Indiana men’s soccer roster features several new faces, as 13 of the 30 players join the program either from the transfer portal or as first-year students.
Head coach Todd Yeagley and his staff brought in the top-ranked transfer class according to Top Drawer Soccer, featuring eight proven producers with NCAA Tournament experience.
They join a solid foundation of 17 returners, including Alex Barger, Charlie Heuer, Josh Maher and Collins Oduro – each having at least two seasons of experience with the program. Barger and Maher will serve as captains for this team.
4 players previously drafted to Major League Soccer
Modern MLS SuperDraft rules allow athletes selected to return to school prior to making the jump to professional soccer. Four members of the 2026 IU men’s soccer team have taken advantage of the new regulations – two returners and two newcomers.
Collins Oduro begins his second season since earning a selection in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft. Alex Barger and transfers Stephane Njike and Michal Mroz all heard their names called in the 2026 draft.
| Player | Draft Year | Team | Round | Selection |
| Collins Oduro | 2025 | Orlando City | 2 | 57 |
| Alex Barger | 2026 | Inter Miami | 2 | 60 |
| Stephane Njike | 2026 | DC United | 3 | 61 |
| Michal Mroz | 2026 | Minnesota United | 3 | 83 |
3 players featured in 2025 Top Drawer Soccer Postseason Top 100
Two Hoosiers featured in Top Drawer Soccer’s Postseason Top 100 list after the dust settled on the 2025 season, IU’s leading goalscorer Palmer Ault placing No. 11 ahead of Collins Oduro at No. 84.
Following Indiana’s raid of the transfer portal this offseason, now three members of this 2026 Indiana squad placed in that list highlighting the top players in college soccer. Njike ranked just behind Ault at No. 15 after a first-team All-Big Ten, first-team All-North Region season at Maryland where he recorded seven goal and seven assists in 2025.
Mroz was one of a small number of goalkeepers to make the list, taking the No. 84 spot. Logging all 1,800 minutes for Evansville last season, Mroz kept six clean sheets and a 0.95 goals against average before transferring to IU ahead of the spring semester.
99 career goals scored
Indiana pulled in several attacking options as it looks to follow up an attack that scored 46 goals last season. While Ault (16 goals in 2025) and Colton Swan (3 goals) moved on to professional opportunities, Yeagley’s staff welcomed Bennett Painter (21 career goals), Njike (13 goals) and Oliver Moller-Jensen (8 goals) while returning Oduro (12 goals) and Jacopo Fedrizzi (8 goals). First-year players Michael Adu-Gyamfi and Dempsey Resich have yet to open their collegiate accounts but could have the chance to quickly strengthen IU’s attacking dynamic.
Charlie Heuer and Wes Carnevale have each proven they can produce from their midfield positions, combining for 14 goals and 11 assists in their careers.
