Prescott Horvath, a standout offensive lineman from Mishawaka Marian High School, has committed to play football at Indiana University. Horvath, who earned back-to-back Indiana Football Coaches Association (IFCA) All-State selections in his junior and senior seasons, impressed the Hoosiers' coaching staff during the recruiting process and will join the team as a preferred walk-on.

Why it matters

Horvath's commitment is a significant win for the Indiana football program, which is coming off its first-ever national championship. The Hoosiers have been building momentum on the recruiting trail, and landing a talented in-state prospect like Horvath helps solidify their offensive line for the future.

The details

After dealing with a torn hip labrum during his sophomore season, Horvath dedicated himself to getting stronger and improving his game. He credits his Marian teammates for pushing him in the offseason, and the hard work paid off with his All-State selections. Indiana's coaching staff first visited Horvath during the offseason, and he subsequently visited Bloomington, where he was invited to the team's summer camp. Horvath ultimately chose Indiana over eight other scholarship offers.

  • Horvath made the IFCA Class 3A All-State team as a junior in 2025.
  • Indiana's offensive line coach Bob Bostad first visited Horvath during the offseason.
  • Horvath visited Indiana during the spring of 2026 and was invited to the team's summer camp.
  • Horvath received eight collegiate offers before committing to Indiana on January 29, 2026.
  • Indiana won its first national championship just 10 days prior to Horvath's commitment.
