Former Michigan State wide receiver Nick Marsh got a "wake-up call" Thursday during his first spring practice at Indiana.

No-nonsense Hoosier Coach Curt Cignetti wasn't a fan of the flashy cleats Marsh was sporting when he arrived.

"I didn't love those gold shoes he came out in today," Cignetti told reporters during a press conference following the practice. Cignetti's comments were shared on X by Peegs.com reporter Jared Kelly.

Cignetti also took the opportunity to throw some shade at Big 10 opponent Michigan State.

"(Marsh) learned what getting your ass ripped is all about," Cignetti said. "I don't know if that happened to him very often at Michigan State."


Indiana WR Nick Marsh wore gold cleats to IU's first spring camp session. Curt Cignetti was not pleased to see that.

Marsh left MSU in January to join the Hoosiers in their bid to repeat as Big Ten and national champions.

The junior wideout out of River Rouge High in River Rouge, Michigan, led the Spartans in receiving each of his first two seasons with 100 career receptions for 1,311 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2025, he set career highs in receptions (59), yards (662) and touchdowns (six).

Cignetti said Marsh's first Indiana practice went well after the initial friction over his footwear.

"That was before practice started. That was a wake-up call," Cignetti said. "But, no, he's really worked hard, done a great job for us."

Michigan State and Indiana aren't scheduled to play each other this year.
