According to a report from Rivals on Wednesday, LSU football is hosting 2027 wide receiver Monshun Sales for an official visit. LSU aims to build momentum with the elite wide receiver prospect as the Tigers are red hot on the recruiting trail.

Sales's only other scheduled official visit, according to Rivals, is to Texas. He is currently uncommitted but has taken four official visits so far this summer, with a fifth coming when he travels to Austin.

Rivals' Industry Rankings lists Sales as the No. 8 prospect in the 2027 cycle as well as the No. 2 wide receiver. He is the consensus top player out of Indiana. He hails from Indianapolis and attends Lawrence North. Among all three major recruiting outlets, Sales is a consensus top-five wide receiver.

Sales stands at six-foot-five and 201 pounds. If he chooses LSU, he would be the third wide receiver in the class and the second five-star commitment, joining tight end Ahmad Hudson. The class currently ranks No. 9 nationally and No. 4 in the SEC, per Rivals' Industry Rankings.

LSU is also chasing five-star wide receiver Easton Royal, the No. 1-ranked prospect in Louisiana. Royal is currently committed to Texas, but the Tigers are in the race.
