Indiana men’s basketball extended a scholarship offer to J’Lon Lyons, a 4-star point guard in the class of 2027, according to his social media:

Lyons currently attends Grace Brethren Christian School in Clinton, Maryland and plays for the DMV-based New World AAU on the 3Stripes Select Basketball (3SSB) adidas circuit. He holds offers from Florida State, Mississippi State, Syracuse and Villanova.
Notably, Lyons received a scholarship offer from Georgetown last October when current Indiana assistant Kenny Johnson was on staff for the Hoyas. That offer was likely due to his status as a local prospect as much as anything, but this is the kind of recruitment where Johnson’s connections to the DMV area could pay dividends.
