Indiana men's basketball adds new four walk-ons to 2025-26 roster

Indiana and head coach Darian DeVries has signed four new walk-ons to their 2025-26 basketball program.

Tryce Grensing, Jordan Rayford, Ian Stephens and Drew Snively have all been added on the Indiana roster according to IU Athletics.

6-foot-0, 180 point guard Tryce Grensing is from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

A four-year varsity starter at Providence Christian Academy, Grensing scored 17 points to help lead the Lions to the 2025 TSSAA state championship. He averaged 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game during his senior season and shot 47% from 3-point range.

Grensing ia true freshman is the son of long-time college basketball assistant coach Greg Grensing who coached at Creighton under Indiana head coach Darian DeVries.

Jordan Rayford, a 6-foot-5 guard, spent his freshman year at Air Force, but he missed the entire season due to shoulder surgery. In the high school class of 2022, he committed to Air Force out of Phillips Academy Andover in Andover, Mass., where he was a NEPSAC All-Conference and MAC All-Conference player. 

Rayford was a walk on at Indiana in the 2023-24 season as well. He is entering his junior season.

Ian Stephens will join the Indiana basketball program as a walk-on for the 2025-2026 season after joining the roster in 2024.

Stephens is a 6-foot-6 forward from New Palestine High School right outside of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Stephens averaged 15.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocked shots with five double-doubles as a senior in 2022. Stephens will be entering his junior season along with Jordan Rayford, who walked on with Stephens in 2023-24.

Drew Snively attended Zionsville High School (Indiana) and was a three year starter who averaged 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his career. As a senior he averaged 17.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists and shot 40% from three point range.

Snivley played on the same AAU Team as incoming freshman Trent Sisley (Indiana Elite).

“Most of the teams I’ve been on, I’ve had a big role,” he told the Indy Star. “But even with that, I just love being part of a team. I love getting others involved and being a practice guy. Competing is one of my biggest traits. I’m trying to win and help bring that competitiveness to practice at IU.”
