Five-star 2026 guard Taylen Kinney has scheduled an Indiana official visit for August 29-31, as first reported by Peegs and 247Sports.com

For the Wildcat Select he averaged 19.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists during the spring. He shot 54.4% overall, and 24.1% from three point range.

Kinney is rated the No. 14 player nationally, the No. 1prospect from the state of Georgia and the No. 4 point guard in the 2026 class by the 247Sports Composite.

Kinney also holds major offers from: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Cincinnati, Creighton, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee Texas A&M, Xavier among more.

"Kinney is a scoring and playmaking lead guard who is smooth and versatile with his attack,"247Sports' Adam Finkelstein wrote about the coveted prospect back in May. "He’s a three-range scoring threat who is creative and crisp with his handle, especially adept at getting to his pull-up, but can also get to the paint."

Finkelstein also added: "Defensively, he’s good with his hands and shown flashes of being able to blow-up ball screens, but like most kids his age, just needs to be more consistent with his approach. Physically, while he measures in at just over 6-foot-1, he plays much bigger than his size, thanks his long 6-foot-6-plus wingspan, increased muscle mass, and the physicality in his game."
