Asbury II began his college career at Boston College after committing as a three-star defensive back. He played one season at Boston College before transferring to Old Dominion where he played two years.

Asbury II is coming off a great season where he was named a Sun Belt Honorable Mention after making 93 total tackles including six tackles for loss. He also had four pass breakups and an interception in 12 games last year.

In his two seasons with Old Dominion, Asbury II played in 23 games and totaled 125 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions and six pass breakups.

The 5-foot-9 195-pound safety has one year of eligibility remaining.

Asbury II played against new Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti twice while at Old Dominion, losing both. In their matchup last season, Asbury II made six tackles and had an interception in the 3-point loss to James Madison.

Asbury II had been previously recruited by Curt Cignetti as a high schooler, receiving a scholarship offer from James Madison. Now three years later, Asbury II will play for Cignetti in his senior year with the Hoosiers.

The news of Asbury II’s commitment comes shortly after it was announced defensive back Phillip Dunnam would not be returning to Indiana football.
