College Scouts are on the ground in Northern Indiana.
Mark and the staff at NSR are dedicated to finding scholarship opportunities for athletes in Northern Indiana that possess the talent, desire, and motivation to compete at the collegiate level. We provide athletic evaluations, academic guidance, and an in-depth education on the recruiting process. Upon successful evaluation and qualification into our program, National Scouting Report will provide the appropriate link between the student athlete and over 2,000 colleges and universities across the country.
NSR prides itself on having scouts on the ground across the country and around the world, checking out our prospects firsthand and making sure they are the quality athletes that we are proud to represent. If you see an NSR scout at your next event, be sure to ask them any questions you may have about college recruiting, and how NSR can help secure the futures of young athletes.

A resident of Indianapolis, I have been very involved with travel baseball as both a parent and coach. Combining over 30 years of business experience and my love for the game I have found my true passion! I am proud to say that I have become an area director in Indiana and Michigan for NSR...the leader in helping student athletes through the college recruiting process. Baseball has been very good to my family. From my oldest son Zach playing in college, my youngest son Tyler being a NSR athlete and now playing in college to the close friendships I have developed over many years. I am thrilled to be part of such a great organization and the opportunity to help your son navigate the recruiting process and find his perfect college fit! Over the years I have seen that there were athletes good enough to play baseball in college but did not get the opportunity because their parents did not understand the process or have someone that they trusted to navigate the recruiting process and find their perfect college fit! I look forward to working with you and your son to reach his dream of playing in college and making the recruiting journey a positive and exciting time in their career!

I am a resident of Carmel Indiana. I have been involved with the game of baseball as a player, parent and coach for over 25 years. I have had the privilege of coaching all four of my sons in multiple sports over the years and most recently helping my youngest with his journey to playing baseball in college. These years gave me many highlights that I will always cherish! Because of my time being a mentor and coach and my passion for the game, I am proud to say that I have become an Area Scout for NSR…the leader in helping student athletes through the college recruiting process. Over the years, I have created many long-lasting relationships with coaches, players, and parents. In those years, I have seen athletes that were good enough to play in college but didn’t get the chance. This was due to the parents either not knowing the recruiting process or didn’t have a trusted person to help them navigate the process. I am thrilled to be a part of this great organization and with the opportunity to help your son or daughter navigate the recruiting process and find the perfect college fit for them! I look forward to working with you and your athlete to reach their dreams of playing in college and making the recruiting journey a positive and exciting time of their career!
