Indiana football leads Big Ten with three players on preseason honor list
BLOOMINGTON Indiana football led the Big Ten with three players on the conference's annual preseason honors list. Hoosiers defensive tackle Tyrique Tucker, wide receiver Charlie Becker and linebacker Rolijah Hardy made the 12-member team, as voted on by the media. Tucker, the lone JMU transfer left on coach Curt Cignetti's roster, will be in Chicago this week representing IU for Big Ten Media Days. He jumped into the starting lineup last year and earned All-American honors, while anchoring one of the most disruptive defensive fronts in the country. Hardy, who started last year as well, led the Hoosiers in tackles (102) and sacks (8.0). On offense, Becker emerged in the second half of last season as one of the country's most talented playmakers with 34 catches for 679 yards and four touchdowns. He's generating buzz as a potential first round draft pick after his star turn in the College Football Playoff.Here's a look at the Big Ten's full honor's list: More: From curiosity to spotlight: Cignetti leads Indiana football into media days as everyone watches2026 Big Ten Preseason HonorsWR Charlie Becker, INDLB Rolijah Hardy, INDDL Tyrique Tucker, INDOL Kade Pieper, IOWADL Anthony Smith, MINNQB Julian Sayin, OSUWR Jeremiah Smith, OSUQB Dante Moore, OREDB Koi Perich, OREQB Jayden Maiava, USCWR KJ Duff, RURB Antwan Raymond, RUMichael Niziolek is the Indiana beat reporter for The Bloomington Herald-Times.
