Baylor Wilkin, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound offensive lineman from Findlay, Ohio, has officially committed to Indiana football, marking a significant addition to the Hoosiers’ 2024 recruiting class. Wilkin announced his decision on Tuesday, choosing Indiana over several other programs and signaling his confidence in the direction of the Hoosiers’ football program under head coach Tom Allen.
Wilkin, who plays for Findlay High School, has been a standout performer on the offensive line, earning recognition for his strong blocking ability, versatility, and high football IQ. As a key figure in Findlay’s offensive scheme, he has displayed the necessary skills to protect the quarterback, open running lanes, and excel in both pass protection and run blocking. His physical stature, combined with his agility and tenacity, makes him a promising prospect who could make an immediate impact at the collegiate level.
In his recruitment, Wilkin drew interest from a number of Power Five schools, but it was Indiana that ultimately captured his attention. His decision to commit to the Hoosiers speaks to his belief in the program’s growth and his desire to contribute to its future success. With Indiana aiming to build a stronger and more competitive team, Wilkin’s commitment brings a much-needed boost to the offensive line, which is vital to the team’s overall development.
Indiana has worked hard in recent years to build a competitive roster in the Big Ten, and adding talent like Wilkin will help strengthen the Hoosiers’ offensive line, which is essential for both the run game and pass protection. The 2024 class, with Wilkin as a key piece, looks poised to contribute to the program’s continued improvement in the coming seasons.
