On Tuesday, Indiana wide receiver Ty Fryfogle was named the Big Ten’s Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year, becoming the Hoosiers’s first-ever honoree since the award was founded in 2011. It marked a capstone achievement for one of the more meteoric rises in an individual career arc for a Hoosier player.
Fryfogle will finish the regular season with 34 catches, 687 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, but the bulk of his production this season, and for what he’ll be remembered by Indiana fans, comes down to three games.
Against No. 23 Michigan, Michigan State and No. 3 Ohio State, Fryfogle had 25 receptions, 560 receiving yards and six touchdowns, which makes up roughly 75 to 85 percent of his 2020 regular-season production and a third of his career receiving yards:
Catches: 73.
