Aiden Fisher's Leadership Powers IU Football's Historic Victory

At Memorial Stadium, a board lists every Indiana football captain since Harry Wise in 1887.

In 2024 and 2025, head coach Curt Cignetti didn't name official captains. Instead, four players, including senior linebacker Aiden Fisher, walk out for the coin toss each week.

Fisher made the call on the road, choosing heads and getting it right, starting the game with a small win.

He led the team to a 30-20 win against No. 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.
