National Signing Day is an event in which senior student-athletes from around the country put pen to paper and sign a ‘Letter of Intent’ to play their sport at their [respective] college or university in the fall of next school year. In front of family, friends, coaches and administration on Wednesday, February 1, 19 Falcon seniors their own ‘Letter of Intent’ to various schools both locally and around the country.

National Signing Day, this year, was a return to normalcy.  The past few years were tainted by COVID and created a divide between players, coaches, and teammates.  Family and friends were unable to watch their student-athlete sign and the divide was noticeable, making this year more special for all involved.
