IUPUI, after making a strong run to the national DII playoffs, is making a push on the recruiting side, too.

The Indiana school's leadership is working closely with the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy Midwest program, and several players from that successful EIRA Midwest team are looking to join IUPUI rugby.

Adam Hawk (pictured below) from Avon HS, and Joey Sturgil (pictured above) from Brownsburg have committed to UPUI. Sturgil was a massive presence on the Midwest EIRA team and a popular teammate, and joins a couple of other Brownsburg commits for IUPUI.
