Indiana Hoosiers Secure Commitment from Top-25 Forward Davion Adkins
The Indiana Hoosiers have landed a significant commitment from Davion Adkins, a nationally ranked top-25 prospect in the class of 2026. Adkins, a 6-foot-8 forward from Faith Family Academy in Oak Cliff, Texas, announced his decision to join Indiana’s basketball program, marking a major recruiting victory for head coach Darian DeVries and his staff .
Adkins is widely regarded as one of the premier frontcourt players in his class. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, he is the No. 3 power forward nationally and the top-ranked player in Texas for 2026 . His commitment adds a high-upside athlete to Indiana’s future roster, aligning with Coach DeVries’ emphasis on athleticism and versatility in the frontcourt.
Known for his explosive athleticism and high motor, Adkins excels as a rim-runner and lob threat. He possesses a 7-foot-2 wingspan and has demonstrated the ability to finish emphatically around the basket. While his offensive game is still developing, he has shown promise with his mid-range shooting and is working to extend his range beyond the arc .
Defensively, Adkins is a formidable presence. His length and timing make him an effective shot-blocker and rebounder, traits that will be valuable in the Big Ten Conference. His performance on the AAU circuit with Southern Assault and at events like the NCAA College Basketball Academy has solidified his reputation as a rising star .
Adkins’ commitment is a testament to Indiana’s recruiting momentum under Coach DeVries, who is entering his first season with the Hoosiers. The addition of a player of Adkins’ caliber signals Indiana’s intent to return to national prominence and compete at the highest levels of college basketball.
As the Hoosiers continue to build their 2026 recruiting class, securing a commitment from a top-tier talent like Davion Adkins sets a strong foundation for future success. Fans can look forward to seeing his impact on the court at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in the coming years.
