Indiana basketball fans have reason to celebrate as four-star 2025 forward Trent Sisley has officially committed to the Hoosiers. Sisley, a highly sought-after recruit, grew up as a passionate Indiana University (IU) fan, making this commitment a dream come true for both him and the IU faithful. The 6-foot-7 forward from Heritage Hills High School in Indiana has been on the radar of several top college programs but ultimately chose to stay home and play for the team he has supported since childhood.
Ranked among the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, Sisley brings a versatile skill set to Indiana. Known for his scoring ability, rebounding, and defensive versatility, Sisley can make an impact on both ends of the floor. His combination of size, athleticism, and basketball IQ has made him a key target for head coach Mike Woodson, who continues to build a strong foundation for the future of IU basketball.
Sisley’s commitment is particularly significant for Indiana, which has been working to reclaim its place as a national powerhouse. Woodson, who has made recruiting within Indiana a priority, sees Sisley as a key piece in the program’s long-term strategy. The Hoosiers have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, and landing a high-caliber local talent like Sisley only adds to the momentum.
For Sisley, committing to the Hoosiers fulfills a lifelong dream. “It’s always been a dream to play for IU,” Sisley said. “Growing up, I was always a fan of Indiana, and I’m excited to be a part of the program’s future.”
With Sisley now in the fold, Indiana’s 2025 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in the country, and fans are hopeful that this commitment will help lead the program back to national prominence.
