Indiana lands versatile Florida recruit LaRon Dues following official visit

LaRon Dues has been busy on the visit trail but after spending the weekend in Bloomington, a decision has been made.

“Go Hoosiers!” he told Rivals.

The Sarasota (Fla.) Cardinal Mooney rising-senior recruit picked Indiana over finalists Oregon, West Virginia, Georgia Tech and USF.

“What put Indiana over the top was the relationship I had with the coaches,” Dues said. “And it’s a rising program as well…

“The weekend was great. I had zero dull moments.”

The Hoosiers strike in the Sunshine State for the second time in a week with Dues, not long after flipping another Sarasota native in Kevontay Hugan.

A two-way talent with chops as a pass catcher as well as defensive back, IU likens its new commitment as a defender primarily.

Learning of the full role was the best part of the official visit to campus over the weekend, per the Floridian.

“The meetings because that’s where I was showed where I will be playing most likely,” Dues said. “They want me to play strong safety and their plan is for me to play early and be a playmaker.”

The future position coach in Bloomington helped to spearhead this recruitment through Tuesday’s announcement.

“Coach Ola Adams is my guy up there,” Dues said. “And everyone was very excited that I was coming…

“I’ll bring all of me to IU and my message to the fans is Hoosier nation wake up, I’m home!”

The Dues decision inches Indiana towards a top-25 recruiting class.
