Curt Cignetti knows how to maintain success and keep the ball rolling. The Indiana Hoosiers’ offense will look very different next season after this past NFL draft. Yet this offense still has one weapon that will put the whole country on notice, including the USC Trojans. In a recent article, Brad Crawford highlighted Indiana Hoosiers receiver Charlie Becker as the seventh-best skill position player in the country. Here is what he had to say about Becker:
“Becker came on strong down the stretch for the Hoosiers last season, taking advantage of extended playing time in the wake of injury. He blossomed into a go-to target in the CFP for Fernando Mendoza, and Becker averaged a conference-leading 19.9 yards per catch last season, finishing with 679 yards and four touchdowns. Scouts are salivating over Becker’s verified speed and big-play ability — he was tracked with 13 “50-50″ catches last season in 17 attempts.”
Becker put the Hoosiers’ offense on his back vs Ohio State in the Big Ten championship with a big performance. He is a clutch and reliable target that will make things easier for new quarterback Josh Hoover. With a clearer path to the top playmaker role this season, Becker will be the Hoosiers’ most dangerous player on offense. He will be #1 on the Trojans ‘game plan heading into Week 12.
