ESPN CONFIRMED: 6-Foot-4 Maryland Star Commits to Indiana Hoosiers
In a major recruiting win for the Indiana Hoosiers, ESPN has confirmed that a highly touted 6-foot-4 four-star shooting guard out of Maryland has officially committed to Mike Woodson’s squad. The dynamic prospect, who plays his high school ball for the nationally respected AAU program Team Takeover, chose Indiana over several top-tier programs, including Rhode Island, Michigan State, Louisville, and Virginia.
The announcement sent shockwaves through the recruiting world, as many analysts believed Louisville or Michigan State were the frontrunners. But in the end, the culture, coaching staff, and playing style in Bloomington sealed the deal.
Known for his explosive athleticism, deadly mid-range jumper, and lockdown defense, the Maryland native has consistently turned heads on the AAU circuit. With Team Takeover, he’s been a centerpiece of their backcourt, showing an ability to both score and facilitate at a high level. College scouts have praised his high basketball IQ and ability to lead on and off the court.
“Indiana just felt like home,” the prospect said during his commitment interview. “Coach Woodson believed in me from day one. The fans, the history, the opportunity to play right away—it just checked all the boxes.”
This commitment is a significant boost for Indiana’s 2025 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory. With this four-star guard in the mix, the Hoosiers are aiming to reestablish themselves as national contenders and return to the upper echelon of college basketball.
Recruiting insiders say Indiana isn’t done yet, with more targets still in play. But landing a versatile guard with size and skill like this one is a clear statement: the Hoosiers are back, and they’re not playing around.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
