Indiana University Football Wide Receiver Charlie Becker headlines the list of Players dealing with new Injuries this Spring <\/strong> Halfway through spring practice, Indiana football appears to have avoided to this point a major injury that would cost anyone the 2026 season. But like every spring, the Hoosiers are dealing with their share of postseason surgeries and bumps and bruises as they\u2019ve returned to the field. Wide receiver Charlie Becker had a breakout 2025 campaign with 34 receptions for 679 yards and four touchdowns.  But there\u2019s a good chance he\u2019s done for the remainder of spring practice after suffering a hamstring injury over the weekend. \u201cHe tweaked his hammy last Saturday,\u201d IU coach Curt Cignetti said Thursday.  \u201cHe did the same thing last August. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll be back or not the rest of spring.  Certainly we miss him being out there right now.\u201d Becker earned a larger role last season when Elijah Sarratt was injured midseason.  And Cignetti remarked Thursday Becker did so well capitalizing on that opportunity they couldn\u2019t afford to take him off the field. \u201cI think the way he finished this season, he was one of the top receivers certainly in the Big Ten Conference,\u201d Cignetti said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana concludes spring practice on April 23 with the spring game, so Becker would only have two weeks from today to attempt to return \u2014 and that\u2019s probably something that is not worth the risk given his importance to the team. In Becker\u2019s absence, Cignetti noted sophomore receivers Davion Chandler and Lebron Bond as two who were standing out this spring. Becker noted the same duo when asked Thursday about emerging players in the receiver room. Bray Lynch is one of five players Indiana is getting snaps at center this spring as they look for Pat Coogan\u2019s replacement.  But Lynch hasn\u2019t been able to do much.  Last season\u2019s starting right guard has been dealing with multiple issues that have kept him limited over the last couple weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe (Lynch) had clean up surgery after the season, and he has a little issue with his other leg,\u201d Cignetti said. Cignetti noted last season\u2019s starting left guard Drew Evans is one of the five who has been playing center this spring as well, and the third-year coach believe both Evans and Lynch are smart enough to make the transition to snapping the football. As previously reported, All-American left tackle Carter Smith is out for the spring after shoulder surgery. IU is also a little thin at running back right now, with anticipated key contributor Lee Beebe, Jr. is still rehabbing from knee surgery and unavailable this spring, while redshirt freshman Sean Cuono has missed the last two practices. It isn\u2019t all bad news for IU, as young tight ends Brock Schott (redshirt freshman) and Trevor Gibbs (freshman), who both had offseason cleanup work done, are progressing.  Both are in full pads at practice and doing individual drills and 7-on-7 work. Cignetti said he likes the progression of redshirt freshman tight ends Andrew Barker and Blake Thiry. \u201cThey\u2019re both competing and both getting better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kai Owen Signs with Indiana University Wrestling  <\/strong> Indiana Wrestling head coach Angel Escobedo has announced the signing of transfer Kai Owen to the program on Thursday. Owen, a transfer from Columbia, comes to Indiana after spending four years with the Lions. With the Lions, Owen wrestled at 141, 149, and 157 lbs. throughout the course of his career and owns a 67-40 record. Owen is a two-time NCAA Qualifier, qualifying as the No. 30 Seed at 141 lbs. in 2024 and was the No. 19 Seed at 157 lbs. in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had a very successful 2026 Tournament, reaching the Blood Round by winning three consecutive matches on the backside after losing his opening bout. In 2024, he went 1-2 in the tournament. Owen helped the Lions win the 2026 Regular Season Ivy League Championship. Owen finished third in the Ivy League Tournament. In 2025, he took fourth place at the conference tournament at 149 lbs. While Columbia was in the EIWA, Owen finished in seventh place at the league championships at 141 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owen is a Tampa, Fla. native, but went to Wyoming Seminary Prep in Kingston, Pa. for his high school career. He was a four-time letterwinner at Wyoming Seminary and a two-time placer at Prep Nationals. Prior to his time in Pennsylvania, he was a two-time Florida High School Athletic Association State Champion. The Tampa native was also a four-time Fargo All-American, Grappler Fall Classic Champion and Journeymen Champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indy Ignite Clinch Spot in the Major League Volleyball Playoffs\u00a0<\/strong> The\u00a0Indy Ignite\u00a0on Thursday became the first Major League Volleyball team to clinch a 2026 playoff appearance, thanks to a comeback win. The Ignite came from behind to win a five-set match on the road against the San Diego Mojo April 9, improving to 17-4. With a quarter of the regular season still remaining, the Ignite secured one of the four spots in the MLV Championship, which will take place May 7 and 9 in at Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas, home of the Dallas Pulse. “We definitely want to go to Dallas, so now we are, and that is important,” Ignite head coach Lauren Bertolacci said in a statement. “Like I’ve said a million times, anything can happen in that kind of (playoff) format, but you’ve got to be there to make it happen. Winning breeds winning, and we want to keep winning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposite hitter Azhani Tealer led the team in scoring Thursday with 22 kills, hitting at a nearly 46% efficiency. Outside hitter Kayla Lund had 14 kills and set a team season high with 26 digs, while setter Mia Tuaniga tallied 56 assists, 16 digs and six kills, and libero Elena Scott tied her season high with 20 digs. “It’s really cool to see the program keep getting better and better,” Tealer said. “We want to be there, and now whatever happens happens, but it’s a really cool feeling to know that we’re right in. So, it’s good.” The Ignite will return home to host the Atlanta Vibe at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 12 at the Fishers Event Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colton Herta’s Indianapolis 500 Hopes Blocked by Calendar Change\u00a0<\/strong> Colton Herta’s hopes of returning to\u00a0the Indianapolis 500\u00a0in the middle of his bid to reach Formula 1 took a hit with a calendar clash Thursday after Formula 2 races were rescheduled. The 25-year-old IndyCar star \u2014 who became the series’ youngest race winner at the age of 18 in 2019 \u2014 made the move to F2 this season with an eye on the super license points needed to race in F1 with Cadillac as its first American driver. F2 has scheduled two extra rounds of its championship alongside F1’s Miami Grand Prix and the Canadian Grand Prix, both next month. The race in Montreal\u00a0clashes\u00a0with the Indianapolis 500 on May 24. The original schedule didn’t have any F2 races in May at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They replace rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia which were\u00a0called off\u00a0along with the F1 races there because of the\u00a0war in Iran. Herta had been in contention for a fourth car at the Indianapolis 500 from Andretti Global, which shares an ownership group with the Cadillac F1 team in Dan Towriss and the TWG Motorsports conglomeration. \u201cWe\u2019re planning on a fourth car. But there are no shortage of people, and not just from IndyCar,\u201d Towriss said in February at the IndyCar season opener in St. Petersburg, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now that Herta is not available, Andretti Global said Thursday it will focus on its current three-driver lineup for the Indy 500 and not enter a fourth car. The team fields cars for previous Indy 500 winners Will Power and Marcus Ericsson, as well as Kyle Kirkwood. Herta is 10th in the F2 standings following the opening round in Australia last month. \u201cI think it\u2019s great if it gets me to Formula 1 and I would be incredibly grateful I took the leap,” Herta told The Associated Press in January of his F2 move. “I think a lot of people feel it would be embarrassing if I fail, but I don\u2019t care what everybody thinks or if it’s going to tarnish my career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
