Ohio State falls short in their pursuit of a coveted wide receiver to a Big Ten rival.

The Indiana Hoosiers landed Monshun Sales, one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2027 recruiting cycle, choosing IU over a host of major programs, including Alabama, Texas, LSU, and Ohio State.

Sales is a dynamic playmaker who is ranked the No. 2 wide receiver and the No. 8 overall prospect in the country according to the 24/7 Sports Composite. The 6-foot-2 pass-catcher had been a priority recruit for Ohio State throughout the process.

For Ohio State, missing out on Sales stings but losing him to the Indiana Hoosiers makes it even less ideal. The Hoosiers defeated the Buckeyes this past season 13-10 in the Big Ten Championship game in 2025 and now if head coach Curt Cignetti continues to recruit players like Sales, it is fair to say they will not be going away any time soon.

While a notable loss, Ohio State still seems to be in an OK place putting together their 2027 class, being currently ranked at No. 9 overall in the country. That ranking won't satisfy Ohio State fans but with names like DJ Jacobs and Jamier Brown as headliners, there certainly won't be a lack of talent in Columbus in the near future.
