Indiana has had success in recruiting the defensive secondary after that unit made plays throughout the Hoosiers' run through the College Football Playoff. The program added onto that success on Saturday.
Ramir Harris-Dupree, a cornerback out of North Carolina, announced his commitment to Indiana on Saturday afternoon. He chose the Hoosiers over offers from Missouri, Rutgers and Louisville, per Rivals national recruiting and transfer portal reporter Hayes Fawcett.
He's the 14th prospect in the class of 2027 to announce his pledge to Indiana and the second cornerback currently committed alongside Chris Bradley (Ohio). The program has had to look elsewhere for the position after losing a commitment from Monsanna Torbert Jr.
Harris-Dupree attends Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. He's rated as a 3-star prospect by 247Sports, ranking in as the 98th highest-rated cornerback in the class and the 33rd highest-rated prospect in North Carolina. He is currently unrated and unranked in Rivals.
