Indiana Basketball Makes Final 6 for Top 2026 Center Recruit
Indiana men’s basketball is among the final six contenders for one of the nation’s top big men in the 2026 class. 
Davion Adkins, a four-star center from Dallas, has narrowed his list to Indiana, Auburn, Rutgers, UCLA, Houston, and Kansas. He has yet to announce a commitment date but plans to visit each of his top six schools, with Indiana being the first on Sept. 13, according to Peegs.com.
Standing 6-foot-9 and weighing 205 pounds, Adkins is ranked among the top-40 players in the 2026 class by both 247Sports and On3 Sports. He is the No. 3 center according to 247Sports and the No. 5 power forward by On3 Sports. For his senior year, Adkins will play at Prolific Prep in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
247Sports scouting director Adam Finkelstein offered this assessment of Adkins:
“Adkins is one of the most naturally gifted frontcourt prospects in the 2026 class,” Finkelstein wrote. “While his potential has been evident for a while, he’s now starting to translate that into consistent production. A long and athletic left-handed player, Adkins stands a true 6-foot-9 with a massive 7-foot-2 wingspan and large hands.”
“He’s an explosive vertical athlete and a major lob threat who can finish with authority. He also shows great touch and has clear long-term shooting potential that could help him stretch the floor both inside and out.”
Despite having just one commitment in the 2026 class—four-star combo guard Prince-Alexander Moody—Indiana has had a productive week with several rising senior prospects.
In addition to Adkins, the Hoosiers are also finalists for five-star guard Taylen Kinney, five-star forward Anthony Thompson, and four-star power forward Latrell Allmond.
