Where do YOUR marks fit?

BeastMatch runs your marks against the real signing history of 980+ programs, Otterbein 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.
