National Signing Day for the Class of 2025 took place Wednesday, marking the start of the final signing day for the school year. During this time, any remaining uncommitted or unsigned players had the opportunity to finalize their decisions and sign financial aid agreements for the upcoming season, making their commitments official. At about 7:20 a.m., nine students sitting at tables adorned with their selected school’s colors and gear and surrounded by family and friends made their commitments official by signing their letters of intent. The room was filled with cheers, applause, and proud smiles as the athletes celebrated the milestone moment with their loved ones, coaches and teammates.
