Ohio State in the Mix for Elite WR Monshun Sales, Former Assistant Joins Rams Staff
Ohio State’s 2027 recruiting class is already shaping up to be one of the most potent in the country - and it could get even more dangerous. Monshun Sales, the No. 9 overall prospect and No. 2 wide receiver in the 2027 class per the 247Sports composite, has narrowed his choices down to four schools, and the Buckeyes are right in the thick of it.
Joining Ohio State in Sales’ final four are Alabama, Miami, and Indiana. Each program will get an official visit, and those visits could go a long way in determining where this 6-foot-5, 195-pound pass catcher ultimately lands.
Sales isn’t just another highly ranked recruit - he’s the kind of talent who can tilt the field. With his size, length, and athleticism, he’s a matchup nightmare on the perimeter. Pair him with Jamier Brown - the No. 1 wide receiver in the class, who’s already committed to the Buckeyes - and you’re looking at a potential one-two punch that would give defensive coordinators fits for years to come.
And it doesn’t stop there. Ohio State also has Chris Henry Jr. in the fold, a 6-foot-6 target who brings his own brand of vertical dominance.
If Sales joins that group, the Buckeyes wouldn’t just have a big receiving corps - they’d have a towering trio that could redefine what a college passing attack looks like. It’s the kind of size and skill combination that makes red zone fades, back-shoulder throws, and contested catches feel like layups.
Sales plays his high school ball at Lawrence North in Indianapolis, and his recruitment has been closely watched for good reason. With Ohio State currently holding nine commitments in the 2027 class and sitting at No. 3 in the national rankings, adding a player like Sales would only strengthen their case as the team to beat on the recruiting trail.
Former Buckeye Assistant Michael Hunter Jr. Joins Rams Staff
In coaching news, former Ohio State assistant Michael Hunter Jr. is making the leap to the NFL.
Hunter, who served as an assistant defensive backs coach with the Buckeyes during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, is headed to Los Angeles to join the Rams’ staff. He briefly joined Tennessee last month to reunite with former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, but now he’ll take his talents to the pros.
While Hunter’s coaching experience has been limited to the college level so far, he’s earned a reputation as a rising mind in the secondary. His next challenge? Helping shape a Rams defensive backfield that’s looking to reload and compete in a stacked NFC.
It’s a big move for Hunter - and another sign of the coaching talent pipeline that continues to run through Columbus.
