Guidelines for NCAA Signing Days
2023-2024
To celebrate our student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers in college, Franklinton High School has established guidelines for signing days. We have aligned our dates with the official NCAA signing periods, which are coordinated with the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program. The NLI is a binding agreement between the student-athlete and a Division I or Division II academic institution, which has offered the student-athlete financial aid. We also have a spring signing day for Division III student-athletes.
The athletic department will share signing day photographs and information with the local media as well as on social media. Student-athletes planning to continue their athletic careers in college should let their coaches and the athletic director know as soon as the NLI has been made available or the student has been admitted to the academic institution.
Fall Signing Day: Nov 14, 2023
All student-athletes who have an NLI will be recognized during this signing session. Based on the NCAA’s recommendation, student-athletes with a commitment to a Division I or Division II institution that does not offer NLIs (Ivy League Schools and Service Academies, for example) will be invited to participate. This signing day will be for all sports except football.
Winter Signing Day: Feb 7, 2023
All football student-athletes who have an NLI will be recognized during this signing session and all other Division I and Division II athletes that committed to schools after the November 11 signing date. Based on the NCAA’s recommendation, student-athletes with a commitment to a Division I or Division II institution that does not offer NLIs (Ivy League Schools and Service Academies, for example) will be invited to participate.
Spring Signing Day: May 15, 2023
All student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers at a Division III school will be recognized during this session. Student-athletes may bring the NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Celebratory Signing Form. Division I or Division II student-athletes who committed after the fall and winter signing dates also will be invited to participate.
Future College Athletes Day: Jun 5, 2023
In early June, a photograph of all future college student-athletes will be taken. This is a final celebration for all of our student-athletes who will be competing in an NCAA sport at the Division I, II, or III level.
Red Ram Athletics Family,
We are excited that the start of the 2022-2023 FHS Athletics season is about to begin and we can't wait to see our student-athletes back on the fields and courts. We know that there will be a lot of changes this year, but our goal is to ensure our student-athletes and our community are safe as we begin this return to sports.
There is a lot of new information we will need to share with you as we begin this return to sports on our campus. Please use this information to become familiar with some of the steps we will need to take as we begin the start of this athletic season. We will continue to update this information in the coming weeks.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of Red Ram Athletics at FHS and please reach out to me personally if I can answer any questions.
Sincerely,
Joseph Cobb
Franklinton High School Athletic Director
