Every verified mark in Indiana's 2025-26 class
23 of the 25 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 2 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.

Where do YOUR marks fit?
BeastMatch runs your marks against the real signing history of 980+ programs, Indiana included — free, no account, results in seconds.
These numbers move every recruiting cycle — they’re last class’s signing marks, not a fixed bar. Programs also weigh progression, event needs, academics and open roster spots, so a mark in range starts a conversation; it doesn’t guarantee one.
