2026 wide receiver Naeem Burroughs from Jacksonville (FL) Bolles School is one of the fastest risers in the class and Indiana will try and land him this off-season.
Burroughs took visits with Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Texas, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame, he also mentioned wanting to take a few more visits in the off-season.
“I went to Clemson, Wisconsin, and Florida,” Burroughs stated. “I will try this spring to visit Texas and Notre Dame to get a feel for the campus before I go on my official visits. I want to go there and know I like it before I go there on an official visit.”
The 6’0 175 blue chip wide receiver Mike Shanahan offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach who offered him back in April have a close relationship but it seems as IU is on the outside looking in but are trying to make a push for Burroughs.
