Indiana University is gearing up for the 2026 football season with a revamped wide receiver corps that must fill the void left by several departed playmakers.
Returning standouts such as Charlie Becker, who exploded for 34 catches, 679 yards and four touchdowns in 2025, and Tyler Morris, the slot receiver who missed the previous campaign due to a torn ACL, are expected to anchor the group.
The Hoosiers have added firepower through the transfer portal, welcoming Nick Marsh, the former No. 5 wide receiver nationally, from Michigan State, and Shazz Preston, who recorded 43 receptions for 723 yards and four scores at Tulane last season.
Incoming freshmen Lavar Keys and Kortez Rupert, both three‑star recruits, join walk‑ons like Cade Kaiser and Bruno Massel IV, adding depth and competition to the unit.
Coaches have released a tentative depth chart that slots Becker, Davion Chandler and Rupert at the X receiver position, while Marsh, Preston and Myles Kendrick line up at Z, and Morris, Lebron Bond and Keys fill the slot role, promising a dynamic offensive attack.
