Welcome to the very first episode of Bird’s Eye View, a Brand-U Athletics production. Student host, Jack Berger, kicks off the season with senior players Blaze Katina, Josh Nieves, and Syler Green to talk about:

• The return of legendary Head Coach Scott Blade
• Brotherhood, bootcamps, and building championship mindsets
• What it takes to grind behind the scenes (off-season, injuries, leadership & more)
• A wild segment of “Friday Night Confessions” you don’t want to miss

This isn’t just football. It’s legacy in the making.

Friday nights hit different when you’re seeing the game from above. Bird’s Eye View is the (un)official podcast of Indy Nation, powered by Brand-U Athletics. Hosted by student section leader, Jack Berger, this is your all-access pass from the stands to the sidelines spotlighting the stories of Independence football athletes on and off the field.

Every Tuesday during the 2025 season, we’re dropping unfiltered conversations, game-day breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes scoop you’ll never catch from the bleachers. Think of it as your front-row seat at the 50-yard line.

The season kicks off August 19.
