Mark started his freshman season at Notre Dame in the 2021-22 season and has played 110 games for the school since. Last season, which was his senior year, he led the Knights to a 28-8 record while going 5-2 in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League, where they were defeated by Harvard-Westlake in the final in February.
He scored 15.1 points, grabbed 3.7 rebounds, dished out 3.2 assists, stole the ball 1.9 times and recorded 0.5 blocks per contest in the 2024-25 season that was cut short to 21 games for Mark due to a hamstring injury that had sidelined him in January.
In AAU basketball, he played for the Oakland Soldiers and led the team to second place in its conference with a 14-1 record.
Lino Mark wants to continue the Filipino legacy at Rutgers
Lino Mark claimed his Filipino heritage is important to him and discussed the impact Dylan Harper had on the program. Furthermore, with Harper declaring for the 2026 NBA draft, Mark was also hopeful of getting his No. 2 jersey.
"Just taking after Dylan, I feel like he's going to carry the program, leave a great legacy, and for me to come in, hopefully, wear No. 2, and carry on the Filipino nationality, that's it for me," Mark said.
He also spoke about his half-Black and half-Filipino heritage and that he wanted to carry the same both on and off the court.
Lino Mark will be joined by Chris Nwuli, Gevonte Ware, Kaden Powers and Harun Zrno at the Scarlet Knights next season.
