Indiana Hoosiers football shakes up the recruiting landscape as five-star receiver Monshun Sales—ranked No. 1 in the 2027 class—receives expert predictions to choose Indiana over powerhouse programs like Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, and Miami. Is this the most transformative pickup in Hoosiers history? Jacob Goins unpacks how Curt Cignetti and his staff are closing in on a potential program-defining commitment, plus what this says about Indiana’s rise in college football.
