UIndy Alum Loren Strickland Secures NFL Roster Spot

DETROIT – University of Indianapolis graduate Loren Strickland made history this week, earning a spot on the Detroit Loins' offical roster. The 2022 UIndy graduate and Lake of the Hills, Ill., native became the first UIndy alum to make a modern-day NFL 53-man roster.
 
Strickland played four seasons with the Greyhounds (2018-21) before earning a Finance degree in December of 2021 from the University's School of Business. A 2019 All-GLVC First Team honoree, he helped the Greyhounds to a pair of GLVC titles and two NCAA DII playoff appearances.
 
By surviving the final round of cuts, Strickland hopes to be with Lions when the team opens the regular season on Sept. 8, hosting the Rams in the Sunday night game.
