The skinny: Penix was initially committed to Tennessee, but then re-opened his recruitment after the Vols underwent a coaching change. He ended up taking December official visits to Indiana, Florida State and USF before committing to the Hoosiers. After showing his potential in three appearances as a true freshman, Penix Jr. passed for 1,394 yards and 10 touchdowns while completing almost 69 percent of his passes in only six games in 2019 before an injury cut his season short. The talent is there. Now he just has to stay healthy for a full season.
Farrell’s take: We liked Penix out of high school as a skinny kid with a nice whip delivery who could also move around. He’s been excellent at Indiana when on the field and he pushed
Peyton Ramsey out of a starting job because he can do so many things. Penix brings an athleticism and excitement to the position that Indiana hasn’t had for a while.
