The Indiana Hoosiers have started their spring practice session and one of the biggest questions facing the team is who will step up at the wide receiver position. IU had plenty of turnover at the position and now will be looking for a new wide receiver coach after Grant Heard bailed for UCF just days before spring practice started in Bloomington. The Hoosiers leading returning receiver is D.J. Matthews, but after losing Ty Fryfogle to the NFL Draft and Miles Marshall, Camron Buckley and Jordyn Williams among others to the transfer portal, it is time to see who can make their mark in spring practice and get a leg up on the competition for the starting spots this fall.

The wide receiver group that the Hoosiers went into 2021 with was supposed to be one of the best in the conference, but by the end of the year it was almost unrecognizable. This unit was a major disappointment in a season where there were plenty of disappointments. After losing D.J. Matthews for the season during the Western Kentucky game, this unit disappeared.

The Indiana Hoosiers have a long list of wide receivers who have made their mark in the record books and on the Big Ten. Whether it be Jade Butcher in the late 1960’s to Ernie Jones in the mid-1980’s to Thomas Lewis in the early 1990’s to Courtney Roby and James Hardy in the 2000’s to more contemporary names like Tandon Doss, Cody Latimer, Shane Wynn, Whop Philyor and Ty Fryfogle. The list goes on and on and I am sure I left out a bunch of names, but the bottom line is, Indiana has a good history of producing wide receivers. Incoming freshman Jaquez Smith is working hard to make sure he can make an impact on the Hoosiers wide receiver room over the next few years.
