Sudfeld received offers from UCLA, Indiana, New Mexico and Arizona.[5] He initially committed to Arizona, but after a coaching and system change, Sudfeld signed with Indiana.[6]

College career

Sudfeld got experience with the Hoosiers as a true freshman, in relief duty of Cameron Coffman, after starter Tre Roberson suffered a broken leg.[7] He earned Big Ten co-Freshman of the Week honours after leading a fourth-quarter comeback Saturday night against Ball State.[8] In his sophomore year, he split time with Tre Roberson, earning his first start against Bowling Green.[9] He finished the season with 2,523 yards, 21 touchdowns, 9 interceptions and a 142.0 pass efficiency rating.[10]

In his junior year, after both Cameron Coffman and Tre Roberson transferred to Wyoming and Illinois State respectively,[11][12] he completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 1,151 yards with 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions as the undisputed starter, before injuring his left shoulder against Iowa, which required surgery, forcing him to miss the rest of the 2014 season.[13] Despite this, he was an Academic All-Big Ten selection[14] and was named to the Manning Award watchlist.[15]

Ahead of the 2015 season, his senior year, he attended the Manning Passing Academy at Nicholls State University.[16] That season he passed for 3,573 yards with 27 touchdowns.
