Indiana Preps is bringing back the All Indiana Football Media Day on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at Farm Bureau Football Center and Gridiron Hall in Indianapolis. Doors open at 10 a.m. ET, with the public program running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
First launched in 2020 as the state’s original statewide football media event, the day brings together standout Indiana high school football players for professional photography, video production, interviews, and recruiting exposure ahead of the 2026 fall season.
Athletes will move through the same rotation-based production model Indiana Preps has built out across its Media Day series, hitting stations for official photography, on-camera interviews, short-form social video, feature storytelling, sponsor and partner activations, and football-specific creative content. Each athlete completes a full rotation designed to produce a season’s worth of preseason coverage in a single afternoon.
“We started this back in 2020 because Indiana’s high school football talent deserved a real spotlight before the season kicked off, and nothing like it existed,” said Harvey Scruggs, Founder of Indiana Preps. “Since then we’ve built that same model out across other sports, but football is where it started. This state produces elite talent every single year, and most of it goes uncovered until the season is already underway. Media Day flips that. We’re building real content, real recruiting exposure, and a real moment for these athletes before a single snap is played.”
Beyond spotlighting athletes, the event generates preseason editorial and social content for Indiana Preps, media partners, sponsors, and participating schools, while strengthening relationships among athletes, families, coaches, and the broader Indiana football community. It also marks a formal kickoff to the 2026 high school football season statewide.
Participation in the All Indiana Football Media Day is by invitation. Credentialed media can reach out to admin@inpreps.com to coordinate access.
