Bray Lynch

Dean Kindig

When matching up against Iowa and Wisconsin, Indiana right guard Bray Lynch faced two vastly different defensive structures. Iowa leaned heavily on a senior-heavy, elite defensive front (his assignment was often Aaron Graves), while Wisconsin leaned on an explosive linebacker group. Appeared in 38 career games with 29 starts. Part of an offensive line that was named semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award in back-to-back seasons (2024 & 2025), with finalist honors in 2025. 2025 (Junior Season): Season: Started all 16 games at right guard. Part of an offensive line unit that paved the way for four-straight 300-yard rushing efforts to start the season - a program-record streak and longest Power 4 stretch since Baylor in 2017. Six 300-yard rushing games are the most in a single season in Indiana history. Helped IU post multiple rushing touchdowns in 12 of 15 games in 2025. Earned Academic All-Big Ten. Lynch was playing with 'loose bodies' in his ankle last year. While his play slipped a bit after a stellar 2024, he won't makes excuses or point to his ankle as the reason why. But now he's healthy and ready for his senior year. Media outlets like On3 and 247Sports name him alongside Carter Smith as one of Indiana's top pro prospects.
