Winning pays in more ways than just championship trophies and rings. The Indiana Hoosiers football team hasn't been known as a powerhouse in years prior, but Fernando Mendoza led them to one of the most dominant seasons in college football history. The Hoosiers went 16-0 , joining the 1894 Yale Bulldogs as the only teams in history to do so.

The season culminated in a Heisman Trophy win for Mendoza and a national championship for the football program. Such an iconic season has seemingly inspired the next generation of football stars, as Indiana has had luck in the transfer portal and in recruiting since the season ended.
Rivals now pin them as the frontrunners to land Monshun Sales. The five-star recruit is the number one receiver in the class of 2027. Indiana ranked ninth last season in passing yards with 3,826, and while regression is to be expected without Mendoza next season, Sales could help the aerial attack return to an elite level come 2027.
Sales has a huge catch radius. He is 6-foot-5, 201 pounds, making him a big threat in the red zone and someone who can come down with 50/50 balls. The high school junior plays for Lawrence North in Indianapolis, Indiana, making his fit with the hometown team a clean one. Sales also has offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, and Miami.
