Indiana Football Has a SECRET WEAPON at Wide Receiver NOT named Charlie Becker or Nick Marsh
Description
Everyone knows about Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh.
But Indiana Football's wide receiver room might be much deeper than those two stars.
On today's Locked On Hoosiers, we break down one of the most overlooked position groups in Bloomington and ask the biggest question facing the room: Who becomes Josh Hoover's third wide receiver?
Becker returns after making some of Indiana's biggest catches during last season's championship run, while Michigan State transfer Nick Marsh brings another potentially elite weapon into Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan's offense. But the real intrigue begins behind them.
Could Tulane transfer Shazz Preston become WR3? Can Michigan transfer Tyler Morris finally stay healthy and emerge? What roles could LeBron Bond and Davion Chandler earn during fall camp?
Indiana's opponents are going to build game plans around stopping Becker and Marsh. Eventually, somebody else will have to beat them — and the Hoosiers have several intriguing candidates capable of doing exactly that.
We also react to On3's preseason Top 25, where Indiana comes in at No. 6, and look around the Big Ten at Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Washington, Penn State and Iowa.
Finally, college football has made several rule changes for the 2026 season, including an important change to the punishment for targeting. We break down what's changing and why it's an improvement over the previous rule.
Who do YOU think becomes Indiana's WR3 behind Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh?
