Evan Jansen, a tight end from Moeller High School in Cincinnati, has had IU as his top school for a while, but took his interest to a new level Tuesday when he verbally committed to play at IU in 2013.
Jansen is rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com, and is the second member of IU's 2013 recruiting class. He joins fellow three-star recruit Isaac Griffith, a wide receiver from Homestead High School in Forte Wayne, Ind. Griffith committed on June 11.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Jansen last visited IU on June 12 and has visited other schools since then, but ended up choosing IU. He had offers from Air Force, Harvard and Western Kentucky, among others.
His Moeller football team finished 9-4 during his junior season. Jansen caught five passes for 90 yards, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
