Where do YOUR marks fit?

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

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.
