Indiana has landed Tulane transfer wide receiver Shazz Preston out of the portal.
Preston is coming off a breakout season with the Green Wave. He caught 43 passes for 723 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. Those numbers include five catches for 125 yards against Ole Miss in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
In 2024, the 6-foot and 206-pound Preston played in six games and totaled four catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns with a long of 53.
A native of Louisiana, Preston spent his first two seasons with Alabama, where he played five games each in 2023 and 2022.
He was a consensus 4-star recruit out of St. James H.S. in St. James, La.
Preston has one year of eligibility remaining.
Although the Hoosiers are losing Elijah Sarratt., E.J. Williams and Jonathan Brady following this season, the receiver room has a chance to be loaded again in the fall.
Omar Cooper, Jr. has an NFL decision to make, but the Hoosiers will have Charlie Becker back to join Preston, Michigan State transfer Nick Marsh, and former Michigan transfer Tyler Morris, who was injured in the spring.
