The Indiana Hoosiers received a commitment from Tennessee wide receiver Charlie Becker. The 6’3”, 185-prospect is rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports composite rankings. He is the 10th member of the Hoosiers 2024 high school recruiting class. He chose the Hoosiers over Iowa, Northwestern and Vanderbilt while holding 10 other offers.
Becker is from Nashville, Tennessee and played for Father Ryan High School. He is fresh off an official visit to IU and will not be making his scheduled official visit to Iowa on June 23rd.
Becker also runs hurdles in high school as he made the decision to run track to improve his speed for football.
“I wanted to get faster for all the football camps,” he said. “But I got into hurdles and it didn’t turn out too bad.” Becker said in an interview with MainStreet Preps.
Becker was also productive on the football field as he made 58 receptions for 694 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2022. Becker also returned kicks. He can use his speed to stretch the field and his fram to go up and grab the ball out of the air.
Becker said in the MainStreet Preps article that his recruitment really started gaining steam during his sophomore and junior seasons. “Sophomore and junior year it just blew up, it’s been unreal getting to talk to all these coaches who I never thought I would have any sort of communication with. I had these goals back in middle school. I wanted to go (Division I) and play at a big-time college.” he said.
