Five-star wide receiver Monshun Sales made a verbal commitment to Indiana on Friday.
If Sales signs with the defending champions, he'll supplant Class of 2022 linebacker Dasan McCullough as the highest-ranked recruit in Indiana history.
Sales, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound rising senior at Indianapolis' Lawrence North High School, announced his commitment on "The Pat McAfee Show." He chose the Hoosiers over Texas, Alabama, Ohio State and LSU. According to ESPN, Texas was the most serious challenger as Sales considered his future.
"My decision to commit to Indiana was not an easy one," Sales said. "The relationships that I made with the coaches and staff at Indiana throughout the process is what made it feel like home. Coach Cignetti has built a winning program, and I can't wait to be a part of it."
Sales, originally from Alabama, is a two-way star at Lawrence North. In his junior season, he had 37 catches for 794 yards and nine touchdowns along with 56 tackles on defense. In his sophomore year, he caught 34 passes for 568 yards and seven touchdowns. The team finished 11-1 and was ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 6A that year.
The Hoosiers' 17-player class includes Brownsburg four-star receiver Branden Sharpe, Noblesville three-star offensive tackle Mason McDermott and Michigan City three-star offensive lineman Jeremiah Jones. Three-star quarterback Jameson Purcell (Maine South HS; Park Ridge, Ill.) has been committed to the program since July 2025; running back Da'Jon Talley Rhodes (St. John's College; Washington, D.C.) rounds out the skill position talent bound for Indiana in the 2027 cycle.
