Indiana Preps | Home Court / On The Line

The 60th Annual Murat Shrine IFCA North-South All-Star Classic kicks off tonight at Decatur Central High School in Indianapolis. Kickoff is 7:05 PM. And among the best high school football players in the state taking the field tonight, three of them share a bond that predates every state championship, every all-state honor, and every college commitment on their résumés.

Alex Fisher. AJ Jobe. Brody Clampitt. Brody Klem. Kyle Hardin. Paxton Trump. All three are Team Indiana Football alumni. All three are on the South roster tonight.

About Team Indiana Football

Founded in 2013, Team Indiana Football is a volunteer-driven nonprofit built to bring Indiana’s elite middle school athletes together to compete against the best programs in the country while developing the skills for lifelong success. No school affiliation. No recruiting rankings. Just Indiana’s best young players representing the state on a national stage before most people knew their names. The Class of 2026 produced six alumni worth celebrating — and tonight three of them play one final high school football game together.

Alex Fisher | LB | Brownsburg | Wabash College

Fisher was part of back-to-back 6A state championship teams at Brownsburg — the standard-setting program in Indiana’s largest classification. He was the team leader in tackles with 71 solo and 91 total, added 8 tackles for loss, and returned a fumble for a touchdown. Brownsburg named him Defensive MVP and awarded him the Hammer Award as the most physical player in the program for the 2025 season. He earned IFCA All-Region 6 honors and is headed to Wabash College. Tonight he plays for the South in the 60th Murat Shrine Classic. Fisher played with Team Indiana in 7th and 8th grade.

AJ Jobe | RB | Brownsburg | DePauw University

Indiana Preps Runningback of the Year. IFCA All-State 6A. Brownsburg Team MVP. IFCA All-Region 6. The numbers that produced those honors are worth reading twice.

Regular season: 119 carries, 813 yards, 8 touchdowns. Postseason, across Brownsburg’s 6A championship run: 108 carries, 776 yards, 15 touchdowns. Full year totals: 227 carries, 1,589 yards, 23 touchdowns. He is heading to DePauw University to continue his football career. Tonight he lines up in the South backfield. Jobe played with Team Indiana all three years — 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.

Paxton Trump | OL | Danville | Next Level

Trump spent four years as a starting offensive lineman — the foundation of any program’s success, the position that rarely gets its name called but determines every result. He earned First Team All-Sagamore Conference honors his senior year, Sagamore Conference Academic All-Conference, and IFCA All-Region 6. His junior year brought IFCA Junior All-State and Second Team All-Sagamore recognition.

Away from football, Trump has spent two years playing rugby — earning Westside Rugby Rookie of the Year as a junior and the Westside Award this year. He played with Team Indiana in 7th and 8th grade.

Kyle Harden | LB | Cathedral | University of Indianapolis

Harden may be the most complete student-athlete in Indiana’s Class of 2026. Two-time All-State. IFCA Top 50. Two-time All-City. Team Captain. Team MVP. Three-time Academic All-State. IFCA All-Region 7. North-South All-Star selection. Indianapolis City Athlete of the Year finalist. School Male Athlete of the Year.

On the wrestling mat: four-time state placer, Al Smith Champion, four-time City Champion, two-time Team MVP, three-time Academic All-State.

He played all three years with Team Indiana. He is headed to the University of Indianapolis — a program that just announced its move to the G-MAC — to play football in his home city.

Brody Klem | DL | Gibson Southern | Lindsey Wilson University

Klem’s résumé is one of the most decorated in this group. Conference Defensive MVP. IFCA Top 50 All-State. Academic All-State. Four-time All-State. IFCA All-Region 9. He played three years with Team Indiana and developed into one of the most recognized defensive linemen in Indiana’s 2026 class. He is headed to Lindsey Wilson University.

Brody Clampitt | DL | Plainfield | Next Level

First Team All Mid-State Conference. IFCA Academic All-State. Academic All-Conference. Week 7 “Send Me” award recipient — a recognition that speaks to character and leadership as much as performance. IFCA All-Region 6. Clampitt played with Team Indiana in 6th grade.

The Bigger Pipeline

These six aren’t the only Team Indiana Class of 2026 alumni at the college level. Kasmir Hicks — IFCA Top 50 — is at Indiana University. Fa’Rel Carter — also IFCA Top 50 — is at Eastern Michigan. Bo Polston is at UConn. Alec Surber is at Austin Peay. Brady Ballart is at Louisville. The pipeline from one middle school nonprofit to Power Four and FBS programs is real, documented, and growing.

Tonight’s game starts at 7:05 PM at Decatur Central High School. Tickets are $11 for adults, $6 for students K-12, and $4 for Pre-K. Admission is available at the gate.

Three Team Indiana alumni take the field tonight for the last time as high school players. The foundation was built before anyone was watching. The results speak for themselves.
