Prince-Alexander Moody has become the first commit in the 2026 class for Indiana, as he announced his verbal with Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers.

The main reason he picked Indiana, is head coach Darian DeVries. Moody has invested in building a real relationship with him.

"That's my guy. We talk all the time. He's been texting me since he first offered me. He kept in contact with me. He built a relationship with me. That's the best thing you can do as a head coach is build a relationship, and me and him have a tight bond," Moody told Peegs.com about DeVries.

The 6-foot-4 Moody is listed as a combo guard by 247Sports and is rated the No. 149 player nationally according to the 247Sports Composite. 247Sports also ranks Moody as the 13th best combo guard and the No. 5 overall prospect from the state of Maryland.

Moody attends Bishop McNamara in Maryland and also plays for Team Takeover on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) circuit.

The point guard has also played the main role for Team Takeover 17u this summer, who sits at 10-1 to lead the EYBL. Moody’s averaged 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals as they try to capture a Peach Jam title.

Moody also had scholarship offers from Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, Providence, Virginia Tech and several other schools.

"“I’m blessed to continue this journey with the cream and crimson – I’m a Hoosier,” Moody wrote on his Instagram account. “My visit was unforgettable. Huge thanks to Coach Kenny Johnson for believing in me since 7th grade and to Coach DeVries and the IU staff for making me feel at home.”"
