Excitement in San Antonio as High School Athletes Make Their Collegiate Dreams Come True
Today is a day filled with excitement, joy, and a sprinkle of bittersweet feelings as high school athletes in San Antonio celebrate National Signing Day 2025. This special occasion marks a significant milestone for young athletes choosing to continue their sports careers at collegiate levels. Held every year, this day allows athletes to officially sign their National Letters of Intent, affirming their commitment to their respective colleges.
A Milestone Event
The regular signing day period for football kicks off from February 5, 2025, but athletes in various other sports aren’t left out! In fact, athletes from baseball, track, swimming, and more have the chance to sign scholarship agreements alongside their football counterparts. It’s important to note that the concept of an early signing period was introduced back in 2017, giving athletes the opportunity to sign as early as December rather than waiting until February.
