Curt Cignetti just landed the highest-rated commit in Indiana football’s history.
Monshun Sales, a wide receiver from Indianapolis, announced his commitment to the Hoosiers on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday.
Sales, one of the top recruits in the 2027 class, chose Indiana over Texas, Alabama, Ohio State and LSU, with the Longhorns emerging as Indiana’s biggest competitor in recent weeks.
Should he officially sign in December, Sales will become the first five-star signee out of high school to join the Hoosiers.
“Coach Cig is a straight-up guy,” Sales said on ESPN. “He’s going to keep it real with you. He’s not going to sit there and tell you what you want to hear.
“It just clicked instantly. I don’t want [a] guy that’s going to sit there and tell me what I want to hear and just give me bulls–t. I want to work for everything.”
Sales, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound wideout, is ESPN’s 18th-ranked overall prospect and fourth among receivers in the 2027 cycle.
247Sports rated him even better as the No. 13 overall prospect and top receiver in the 2027 class.
The recruiting success marks another win in Cignetti’s historic tenure at Indiana that has turned the program around, culminating in its first football national title in January.
Sales joins wide receiver recruits Branden Sharpe and Jordan Carrasquillo for the 2027 group.
Sales, who was born in Alabama, is a two-way star at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis.
In his junior season last fall, he caught 37 passes for 794 yards and nine touchdowns.
He also recorded 56 tackles.
