Nick Marsh got a taste of the Curt Cignetti experience in Day 1 of spring practice with Indiana football.
Marsh, one of the Hoosiers’ top transfer additions this offseason, caught 59 passes for 662 yards and six touchdowns last season at Michigan State and was among the top receivers in the portal.
But those credentials, and a presumed hefty price tag, won’t protect you from Cignetti’s all-business mentality.
Marsh arrived at practice wearing gold cleats, and Cignetti issued the Spartans transfer an early “wake-up call.”
“I didn’t love those gold shoes he came out in today. He learned what getting your ass ripped was all about. I don’t know if that happened to him very often at Michigan State. That was before practice started. That was a wake-up call.”
Indiana WR Nick Marsh wore gold cleats to IU’s first spring camp session. Curt Cignetti was not pleased to see that.

Marsh will be a feature weapon in the defending national champion’s offense with starting receivers Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr., preparing for the NFL Draft.
