Indiana football makes top-10 for top 2027 wide receiver

Indiana’s pursuit of receiving talent for the 2027 cycle gained traction Friday evening when Chicago Mount Carmel wideout Quentin Burrell included the Hoosiers among his top-10 schools. The 4-star prospect, rated by Rivals as the No. 10 receiver and No. 57 overall player in the class, revealed the list via On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Burrell’s consideration set features national powers Notre Dame, Miami, Michigan, LSU, Nebraska and Oklahoma, yet Indiana’s inclusion underscores the early recruiting momentum Curt Cignetti’s staff has generated at the position. With offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Mike Shanahan orchestrating the attack, the Hoosiers have prioritized high-end pass-catchers after two seasons of on-field production from the group.

The 6-foot-2 target is not related to former Notre Dame safety Quentin Burrell, but his blend of size and production has already made him one of the Midwest’s most coveted 2027 prospects. Indiana, which has extended offers to multiple receivers in the rising junior class, hopes to parlay recent development success into a commitment from Burrell as his recruitment moves toward visits and eventual decision-making.
