LOS ANGELES – Kahlil Benson and Louis Moore started their IU careers in a locker room that, more often than not, was a losing one. They were among the masses who begrudgingly sang the fight song after beating Akron in triple overtime.
The 3-9 season in 2023 ultimately led to Tom Allen’s firing and Curt Cignetti’s hiring. Both Benson and Moore had opportunities to remain in the program, but chose to enter the transfer portal. Benson went on to play for Deion Sanders at Colorado, while Moore went to Ole Miss.
After one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history last season in Bloomington, both found their way back to their former home.
