Ferrell is rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals, while ESPN and 247Sports give him a three-star rating. At 6-foot-1, 192 pounds, Ferrell is the No. 437 player in the class of 2023, according to 247Sports. He chose Indiana over Power Five offers from Cincinnati, Florida State, Miami (FL), Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisville and Pittsburgh.

Ferrell is entering his senior season at Columbia High School in Lake City, Fla., and he has experience playing both cornerback and safety. As a junior, Ferrell intercepted three passes and posted 39 tackles. 

He joins a 2023 class consisting of a trio of three-star recruits. This class includes tight end Sam West from Greensburg, Ind., quarterback Broc Lowry from Canfield, Ohio and offensive lineman William Larkins from Hollywood, Fla. 

With the addition of Ferrell, Indiana's class of 2023 ranks 68th in the nation. Watch full highlights of Ferrell HERE.

Here’s another play from @AmareFerrell_. Love the celly afterwards.

I *think* Oakleaf only threw his way three times. One was a pass interference call. This one & the game-sealing pick. https://t.co/8AzxxFIzFP pic.twitter.com/TeFBi96fpo
