In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Rourke revealed that he has been forced to step away from the game due to an undisclosed injury that has significantly impacted his ability to perform at a competitive level.
Rourke, a standout transfer from Ohio University, joined the Hoosiers with high expectations after an impressive collegiate career as a dual-threat quarterback. His leadership and potential were seen as a beacon of hope for the Hoosiers’ offensive revival. However, after a promising start to the season, Rourke experienced lingering physical setbacks, prompting further evaluation by medical professionals.
