Playing right tackle, Verstegen was a unanimous first-team all-region selection at Kaukauna High School, contributing to the Ghosts' run to the state semifinals. 

Verstegen chose Indiana over an offer from South Dakota State, and he also received interest from Minnesota, North Dakota, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Verstegen is not currently ranked on any recruiting sites.

Indiana offered Verstegen during the program's Spring Football Saturday event on April 15, and he committed to the Hoosiers a few weeks later. Along with coach Tom Allen, new offensive line coach Bob Bostad played a role in Verstegen's recruitment. Bostad enters his first year at Indiana in 2023, bringing prior experience at Wisconsin and in the NFL.

Verstegen joins tight end Brody Kosin as Indiana's two commitments in the class of 2024. To watch Verstegen's junior year highlights, CLICK HERE.
