First Charlie Becker Indiana Hoosiers Football Bobblehead Unveiled

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobblehead of Indiana Hoosiers star wide receiver Charlie Becker. We just received approval to release the officially licensed, limited-edition bobblehead and are excited to unveil it ahead of Indiana’s big game against the USC Trojans in Bloomington. The special edition bobblehead is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Indiana University Bloomington, in conjunction with Becker.

Becker, who leads the Hoosiers in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, was a key component in Indiana’s first football national championship last season and has been instrumental in the Hoosiers’ success so far this year. Becker caught a touchdown in each of Indiana’s first two playoff games. In the CFP National Championship win over Miami, Becker made a pair of clutch fourth-quarter catches, including a 19-yard back-shoulder grab on fourth-and-5, to extend two scoring drives. In IU’s last game, he caught a 25-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime in a 23-16 victory over Minnesota. Indiana is ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff Rankings, No. 6 in the AP Top 25 and No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.

• Indiana (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) is ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff Rankings, No. 6 in the AP Top 25 and No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll. The Hoosiers host No. 18 USC on Saturday, November 14th at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.
• On Saturday, October 31st at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, fourth-ranked Indiana defeated Minnesota in overtime, 23-16, in a Big Ten Conference matchup. Charlie Becker caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Grant Wilson on the first play of overtime, and the IU defense kept the Golden Gophers out of the end zone on their possession to clinch the victory. With 19 seconds left in regulation, Luke Drzewiecki gave Minnesota a 16-13 lead with a 60-yard field goal. On the next play from scrimmage, Becker’s 33-yard reception helped set up a 60-yard field goal by Paddy McAteer to send the game into OT. Becker finished with eight receptions for 149 yards. “We’re a band of brothers,” Becker said after the game. “We’re going to fight through whatever we need to do to come out with a victory.”
• Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Becker attended Father Ryan High School in Nashville, where he was a state champion hurdler in addition to his exploits on the football field. After playing primarily on special teams as a freshman, the 6-foot-4, 208-pound Becker was the team’s fourth-leading receiver in 2025 with 34 receptions for 679 yards and four touchdowns as the Hoosiers won their first CFP National Championship. Entering 2026, Becker was named a second-team preseason All-American by The Associated Press. Through nine games in the 2026 season, Becker leads the Hoosiers in receptions (50), receiving yards (875) and TDs (9).
• “We are excited to unveil the first bobblehead of standout Indiana wide receiver Charlie Becker, the top offensive weapon for the defending national champion Hoosiers who helped Indiana win the team’s first title last season,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This bobblehead will be a must-have for fans of the Indiana Hoosiers!”
