Indiana OL Dan Feeney to return for senior season

Indiana got a huge boost for the 2016 season Monday as third-team All-American offensive lineman Dan Feeney announced he will return for his senior season.

"I am excited to continue to be a part of this great program," Feeney said, according to the school's website. "Coach (Kevin) Wilson and coach (Greg) Frey were extremely valuable during this process and I thank them for their assistance."

Feeney was dominant throughout the 2015 season, not allowing a sack in 475 pass attempts for the Big Ten's top-ranked offense. The Hoosiers became the fourth team in FBS history to have a 3,500-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard rushers, and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same year.

"Dan put a lot of time and thought into this decision," Wilson said. "This is a great opportunity for him to continue to grow as a player, teammate and leader, and enhances the value of his football future. By the time he is done, Dan will be one of the best ever to wear an Indiana uniform."

Indiana opens the 2016 season hosting FIU on Sept. 3.
