Every verified mark in Alabama State's 2025-26 class
2 of the 14 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 12 have no verified mark on record, so they are left out rather than guessed. Not a published standard, not an estimate. Names, hometowns and the coach who recruited each athlete are the member view.
+ 1 international signee in this class — their marks are in the International view of the tables above, kept separate so the American numbers above stay readable as US high-school marks.

Where do YOUR marks fit?
BeastMatch runs your marks against the real signing history of 980+ programs, Alabama State included — free, no account, results in seconds.
Treat this as a snapshot of one signing class, not a fixed cutoff — it changes every cycle. Coaches also weigh progression, event needs, academics and roster spots, so landing in range opens a conversation rather than settling one.
