Monshun Sales, a 5-star wide receiver prospect from Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, has named Indiana as one of his four finalists for his college commitment. Sales is ranked as the second-highest wide receiver and eighth-highest overall recruit in the class of 2027 according to Rivals.

Why it matters

Landing a 5-star in-state recruit like Sales would be a major coup for the Indiana football program, which has seen recent success developing wide receivers under coach Mike Shanahan. Sales' decision could have significant implications for the Hoosiers' recruiting class and future on-field performance.

The details

Sales announced his final four schools as Indiana, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami - the same four teams that competed in last season's college football playoff. Indiana has offered Sales, along with several other top programs including Michigan, Oregon, Notre Dame, and LSU. Wide receivers have thrived in Indiana's offense under Shanahan, with Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr. projected as NFL Draft picks this year, and Charlie Becker emerging as a rising star.
