January brings added financial pressure for households across Gary and Northwest Indiana, as heating costs rise and grocery prices remain elevated. Food insecurity continues to affect a significant share of people in the region.

Cignetti will surely be happy if Indiana (14-0) defeats No. 5 Oregon (13-1) in Friday's CFP semifinal showdown in Atlanta. The Hoosiers seek to improve to 2-0 on the year against the Ducks and move one step away from a national championship.

Cignetti also brought in five defensive linemen in his 2025 high school recruiting class and has six more coming in the 2026 class.
