Where do YOUR marks fit?

Drop in your PRs and BeastMatch checks them against real signing history at UC San Diego 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.
