With assistant coach Kenny Johnson back on the IU staff, the Hoosiers continue to place a heavy emphasis on the Washington D.C. metro area.
The latest sign of that came Friday when the Hoosiers offered class of 2027 guard J’Lon Lyons.
Lyons attends Clinton Grace Christian School in Clinton, Maryland.
In the average of the national rankings, Lyons is a 3-star, the No. 100 overall player, and the No. 27 shooting guard in the 2027 class.
The 6-foot-3 Lyons has a similar skill set to recent IU commit Prince-Alexander Moody, as both can play on or off the ball.
For travel basketball Lyons plays for New World on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit. This spring he averaged 13 points, 3.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game.
Lyons also holds offers from high majors Georgetown, Florida State, Mississippi State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Providence, Seton Hall, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M.
