Indiana wide receiver Cam Camper spoke to reporters this week to discuss the recovery process from his ACL injury and early impressions of new WR coach Anthony Tucker.

Cam Camper suffered his season-ending knee injury against Rutgers on Oct. 22. He finished the season with 46 catches for 569 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. Camper had two 100+ yard games and five games with at least five receptions.

Earlier this spring, Indiana head coach Tom Allen gave an update on Camper.

“He’s doing awesome. He’s ahead of schedule. Doesn’t surprise me at all. He’s a worker. He’s disciplined. He’s mentally and physically tough,” Allen said. “He does everything you ask him to do, which I knew adds to your qualities before the injury then that’s going to be how you’re going to attack your rehab, similar to some guys in the past that have done a really, really good job with that, and I’m really, really proud of him for it. I expect him to be able to do some things during the spring. He won’t be full bore, but he’ll be progressing, but he’ll be 100 percent by the season without question.”

Indiana Football: DeQuece Carter among highest rated returning WRs in Big Ten

The Indiana football program landed one of the most productive wide receivers in the transfer portal this offseason. DeQuece Carter, transfer from Fordham, arrived in Bloomington this spring looking to make an immediate impact on the Indiana football program.

The 5-foot-11 Carter had 1,166 yards with 56 receptions and 13 touchdowns last year. He had five 100+ yard receiving games and averaged 20.8 yards per catch.

As a junior, Carter finished with 48 catches for 872 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a freshman, he was named a Freshman All-American after totaling 53 catches for 723 yards and five touchdowns.

Now, heading into the 2023 season, Carter is ranked among the highest wide receivers in the Big Ten.

According to Pro Football Focus, Carter is the fourth highest graded receiver who returns from last year. He has a rating of 80.8. The three wideouts in front of Carter include Dante Cephas of Penn State and then two Ohio State wide receivers at No. 1 and No. 2, Marvin Harrison and Emeka Egbuka respectively.

After a lack of explosive plays in 2022, the Hoosiers are looking for that with Carter this season.

“Super, super productive … that’s one of the things you go through. Let’s go find a guy who has been highly, highly productive maybe at a smaller level but he has a chip on his shoulder because he wants to prove he belongs with the big boys. And that’s what he brings,” IU head coach Tom Allen said after Carter’s signing. “… He knows how to get open and has tremendous ball skills to be able to make plays. He’s got that swagger, that confidence that when he steps on that field he’s going to make plays.”

Indiana looks to bounce back after a 4-8 season and Carter’s ability to make explosive plays is a reason for some offensive optimism.

Indiana football opens its 2023 season against Ohio State on Sept. 2 in Bloomington.
