INDIANAPOLIS - The Marian softball team is finalizing its recruiting class for 2026, as head coach Scott Fleming has completed five signings in his upcoming class. The first future Knight signed for 2026 is Tatum Hunt, a local product who will join Marian from Brownsburg High School.

Tatum Hunt is a native of Brownsburg, Indiana, and is the starting shortstop for the Bulldogs softball team. Hunt batted .397 in her junior season, logging 31 total base hits, including 10 home runs. Hunt led her conference in home runs a season ago while also leading with 39 RBI, and finished second in slugging percentage at a .846 clip. The shortstop earned her high school's Offensive Player of the Year honor for softball.

Tatum Hunt also played on the Brownsburg volleyball team, where she was named Academic All-State, gold award, and hard hat program award winner. 

A high-academic student at Brownsburg, Hunt plans to major in exercise science at Marian. She plays travel softball for Indy Dreams Fair. 

The additional signings of the Marian softball class will be released over the next week. The Knights are scheduled to begin their 2026 season on Saturday, February 21.
