Barner Named Scholar-Athlete of the Month for August



BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University tight end AJ Barner was named the IU Scholar-Athlete of the Month for August.

"AJ's One Word for 2021, Maximize, sums up his freshman year," said Allen Kohn, IU's assistant director of academic services for football. "He saw action in every game of the Hoosiers' record breaking 2020 season and earned an invite to the team's spring leadership council. This would not be the only exclusive invite AJ would receive, as was admitted into the Kelley School of Business, too. I look forward to watch AJ continue to chase greatness this fall.
