Shaun Shivers has found a new home.

The former Auburn running back, who entered the transfer portal in late November, has committed to Indiana University. Shivers announced the move via social media on Saturday.

During his time at Auburn, Shivers appeared in 43 games for the Tigers and finished his career in orange and blue as a 1,000-yard rusher.

He finished with eight touchdowns, most notably a rushing touchdown where he powered through Alabama's Xavier McKinney in the 2019 Iron Bowl, knocking McKinney's helmet off. Although he's small in frame, listed at 5-foot-7, Shivers was known as a physical back who consistently bounced off contact.

Shivers has one year of eligibility remaining.
