In-state class of 2027 3-star wide receiver Branden Sharpe is set to announce his college decision on Monday.
The Brownsburg, Ind. (Brownsburg H.S.) product will announce his decision at his high school at 6 p.m. ET and live on the Rivals YouTube Channel.
Sharpe is down to four schools — Indiana, Purdue, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati. He’s making the announcement before his IU official visit set for May 29-31 and planned visits to the other three schools in June.
Sharpe currently has one national prediction to end up at IU — Steve Wiltfong of Rivals.
After putting two wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft, with four more signed to free agent deals over the last two years, IU has became an attractive landing spot for wide receivers. The Hoosiers also have two receivers (Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker) projected as early-round draft picks in 2027.
Based on the average of the national rankings, Sharpe is a 3-star, the No. 585 overall player in the 2027 class, and the No. 83 wide receiver.
As a junior at Brownsburg, the 5-foot-10 Sharpe helped lead his team to a second-straight state title while compiling 1,386 all-purpose yards including 1,143 receiving. He scored 15 touchdowns. He had more than 1,000 yards receiving in back-to-back seasons.
Sharpe also had Power 4 offers from West Virginia, Northwestern, Iowa State, Boston College and Houston.
