Angola’s Ryan Stuckey signs with Anderson University after standout season

Ryan Stuckey did not sign like a one-note scorer. He signed like the kind of senior who controlled possessions, cleaned the glass and still found enough offense to average 13.8 points a night for an 18-6 Angola team.

That blend is why Anderson University made sense. Stuckey, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound left-handed guard-wing type, brought the sort of multi-positional production that travels well from an Indiana Class A and small-school environment to NCAA Division III. He averaged 9.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game for Bryan Weber’s Hornets, which tells you plenty about his value before you even get to the scoring. He was not just finishing plays. He was extending them, creating extra possessions and helping stabilize a winning roster.

Stuckey signed with Anderson on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, during Angola’s three-athlete signing-day celebration. Brady Leininger headed to Cornell College for track and cross country, and Kendall Stultz will stay closer to home at Bethel for track, but Stuckey’s basketball move carried the most weight for the Hornets’ program and for Indiana hoops readers tracking how small-school seniors keep finding college homes.

The fit is obvious on paper. Anderson plays in Division III and the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, where a wing who can rebound in traffic and handle the ball has real utility. Stuckey’s profile matches that lane. He has enough size to play through contact, enough ball skill to function as a secondary creator and enough instinct on the glass to keep him involved when shots go up. An all-area roundup added another layer, calling him one of the NECC’s most versatile players and crediting him with steals and blocks on top of the points, rebounds and assists.

Angola’s 18-6 finish under Weber was built over a full season, not a small sample, and Stuckey’s numbers were a big part of that. MaxPreps listed him at 13.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 17 games, a line that reinforces the same point: his impact lived in multiple categories, not just one.

That is what makes Stuckey’s move more than a signing-day photo. It is a reminder that some of Indiana’s best college opportunities still go to seniors who do a little bit of everything and do it well. Angola will have to replace more than points next season. It will have to replace a player who shaped winning in a way that does not always jump off the page, until the box score tells the truth.
