DeForest Buckner Pays Off Bet in Full Indiana Gear After Oregon’s Loss

The Oregon alum fulfilled a wager to Colts co-owner Kalen Jackson following Indiana’s win at Autzen Stadium.

Overview

  • On Oct. 16, the Colts defensive lineman arrived for media availability in an Indiana shirt and the program’s red-and-white pinstripe pants.
  • The bet was with Kalen Jackson, an Indiana graduate and Colts co-owner, who was noted on social media as watching the session live to ensure he paid up.
  • The wager came due after the Hoosiers beat the Ducks in a top-10 matchup the previous weekend in Eugene.
