Heading into his senior season, Nick Mangieri had to hit the reset button.

Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson moved Mangieri to the defensive line in spring practice after playing in the bandit position last year.

Now Mangieri is learning--or rather, re-learning--how to play on the defensive line with goals of being named All-Big Ten and leading Indiana to the postseason.

He's still not where he wants to be, but he said he's getting closer each day. He's excited about the 2015 team's potential, and that excitement only amplified this week with summer practice starting up and all the incoming freshmen joining the team.
