In 2024 and 2025, an abnormality for most programs, but the norm under head coach Curt Cignetti, who doesn't name official captains.
Among the four players who walk out for the coin toss each week is senior linebacker Aiden Fisher, who always stands closest to the head official and makes the call on the road.
On Saturday, Fisher chose heads and got it right, leading Indiana to a statement 30-20 win against No.
Fisher, a 2024 first-team All-American, stuffed the stat sheet with a season-high 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
As the lone defensive player able to hear defensive coordinator Bryant Haines on the field, Fisher is entrusted by his teammates to relay the signals before plays.
