Palm Beach County, FL.- The day that every kid looks forward to is finally here. We are just 24 hours away from National Signing Day, and here in Palm Beach County, there’s so much to celebrate. National Signing Day serves as a tribute to every ounce of sacrifice and dedication athletes and their closest supporters put in each and every day. Emotions are high, memories are reflected on and shocking reveals are unearthed.
As someone who’s been around this game long enough, I can confidently say that National Signing Day is my favorite day of the year. Sure crowning State Champions or seeing the most electric nail biting game is fun, but as I said before- NSD is the culmination of every moment spent not under the lights. For me, it’s truly a blessing seeing each senior class grow and move into the next chapter because I know that the story is just beginning.
By the Numbers
Ahead of tomorrow’s early signing period, Palm Beach County will have 37 student athletes sign their name on the fine line, securing their collegiate commitments. Of these 37 standout seniors- 23 are signing to further their academic and athletic careers at Division I FBS programs, and 12 will be competing in the “Power 4” (SEC, ACC, BIG-10, Big-12).
*Please note Notre Dame is still considered a P4 program*.
Tomorrow’s class features three young men who are committing to something far greater than sports, as they’ll be pledging their allegiance to serve our Country throughout their future endeavors via service academies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard).
Finally, this class features two commitments to Top 20 Academic Universities in the Country, because being a highly academic student is just as important as being an athlete.
