Indiana football will have one of the top edge rushers in the class of 2027 on campus this weekend.
Farmington, Mich. based 4-star Myles Smith is one of the headliners set to visit Bloomington. IU defensive ends coach Buddha Williams is leading his recruitment. Williams visited Smith at his home last week.
The IU official visit was a late addition to Smith’s schedule.
In addition to the IU visit, Smith is set to see Michigan State (May 29th), Missouri (June 5th), Kentucky (June 12th), Michigan (June 19th). He hasn’t named a final five, but those five schools appear to be his focus.
Smith also visited IU last fall when the Hoosiers offered him. IU beat Michigan State 38-13 that day.
The 6-foot-5 and 215-pound Smith is a 4-star based on the national average, the No. 254 overall player, and the No. 25 edge in the 2027 class. Rivals has him as No. 130 and No. 11, respectively.
Indiana’s defense features edge rushers. Mikail Kamara led the nation in quarterback pressures in 2024, and Stephen Daley led the Big Ten in tackles for loss in 2025.
Smith had a junior season which suggests he can be highly productive at the next level. He produced 85 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, six sacks, and four forced fumbles. He earned Michigan All-State honors from multiple publications.
Smith’s junior season highlights are below.
