IU women’s basketball signee Addy Nyemchek has been named New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year.
Nyemchek becomes the fourth Gatorade Player of the Year on Indiana’s roster for 2026-27, joining Lenée Beaumont (Illinois, 2023), Maya Makalusky (Indiana, 2025), and Nevaeh Caffey (Missouri, 2025). The No. 28 recruit in the class of 2026 per ESPN, Nyemchek is also the first high school commit in Indiana program history to be selected to the McDonald’s All-American Game.
The 6-foot-2 guard led Red Bank Catholic High to a state championship this season with a 30-2 record. Nyemchek, per MaxPreps, averaged 19.8 points, seven rebounds, four assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 48 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range.
Nyemchek is one of the headliners of Indiana’s strong incoming freshman class, perhaps the best of Teri Moren’s tenure in Bloomington, going on 13 years next fall. ESPN ranks the Hoosiers’ class No. 8 in the country, with Nyemchek, combo guard GiGi Battle (No. 32), point guard Ashlinn James (No. 64) joining the program; center Zoe Jackson is also part of the class, but she enrolled early and joined IU in January.
