The future of Indiana high school football is bright, and these rising sophomores are proving why. The Class of 2027 is loaded with talent, and five standout players are already making a major impact on the field while attracting interest from top college programs across the country.

Monshun Sales (WR – Lawrence North)

At 6’5” and 195 pounds, Monshun Sales is an explosive wide receiver who creates mismatches against any defender. With 7 touchdowns already under his belt, his elite playmaking ability has caught the attention of powerhouse programs like Penn State, Indiana, Michigan, and Texas A&M, among others. Many are already calling him Indiana’s top prospect in the class.

Mason Oglesby (TE/DE – New Palestine)

A key piece in New Palestine’s undefeated state championship run, Oglesby is a force on both sides of the ball. The 6’4”, 220-pound tight end racked up 365 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also making an impact on defense with 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. His skill set has drawn offers from Indiana and several Division I programs.

Kaleb Elkins (DB – Warren Central)

A dominant presence in the secondary, Kaleb Elkins played a crucial role in Warren Central’s Sectional Championship run. The 6’3”, 175-pound defensive back finished the 2024 season with 5 interceptions, 7 pass breakups, and a touchdown. His lockdown coverage has drawn significant recruiting interest, with Indiana being the latest Power 4 program to extend an offer.

Jayce Brewer (EDGE – Franklin Central)

Standing at 6’5”, Brewer is a nightmare for quarterbacks. His 38 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks in 2024 proved he’s one of the most disruptive defensive players in the state. Brewer’s recruitment is on fire, with offers from Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Maalik Moore (ATH – Fort Wayne North Side)

A true two-way threat, Moore dominated both sides of the ball, racking up 133 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in a single game, while also snagging 2 interceptions on defense. Programs like Miami, Purdue, Vanderbilt, and Michigan State have already offered the 6’3”, 190-pound standout.
