Indiana flips prized safety target D'Montae Tims from Colorado

Seffner (Fla.) Armwood safety D’Montae Tims has flipped his commitment from Colorado to Indiana.

Tims was in Bloomington over the weekend to watch the second-ranked Hoosiers defeat Wisconsin.

Commit No. 25 for head coach Curt Cignetti and the IU staff in the 2026 cycle, the 6-foot-1, 195-pound Tims becomes the second to flip to the Hoosiers this week joining offensive lineman Benjamin Novak.

Tims was always a coveted safety target for Indiana and future position coach Ola Adams and the Hoosiers never gave up on him. Now they have him in the fold.

“You can tell they’re building something,” Tims said. “What I liked most was how genuine everybody was. Indiana feels like a place where they’re investing in players on and off the field. 

“The staff is locked in, the culture is growing, and you can see the vision. Definitely a great environment.”

Tims also considered Louisville before committing to Indiana on Tuesday night and now going public with his plans.

“The environment, how loyal and how everyone on the coaching staff is on the same page.”

Rivals ranks Tims as the No. 50 safety in the country.
