Every verified mark in Maine's 2025-26 class
13 of the 15 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, Maine 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.
