Indiana football safety Preston Zachman addressed the media on Wednesday following the Hoosiers’ ninth spring practice.
Zachman, who transferred in from Wisconsin this past offseason, brings plenty of experience to the Hoosiers’ secondary and helps fill a void left by departures from stars like Louis Moore and Devan Boykin. A graduate transfer, Zachman spent the past six seasons with Wisconsin, reshirting as a true freshman in 2020, not appearing in 2021 and seeing an injury-shortened season in 2022
before emerging as a starter in 2023.
Zachman was asked about his path from Wisconsin to Indiana, what he was looking for in a program out of the transfer portal, his relationship with former Badgers teammate and Hoosier Riley Nowakowski, Indiana’s safety room this season, playing against offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan’s offense in practice, his strengths as a player, his age as a college football player and his relationship with former and current teammate Joe Brunner.
