Every verified mark in Massachusetts's 2025-26 class

13 of the 14 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other one has no verified mark on record, so that athlete is 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?

Drop in your PRs and BeastMatch checks them against real signing history at Massachusetts and 980+ other programs, in seconds — free, no account.

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.

Massachusetts permits high school NIL for high school athletes. See the Massachusetts NIL rules →
