2025 NCAA Football Signing Day: CCL/ESCC athletes who signed with colleges Wednesday

Here is a list of CCL/ESCC football players who have committed to colleges at various levels and can sign their financial aid agreement or letters of intent starting Wednesday. That is the first day of the regular signing period for NCAA football scholarship schools (Divisions I and II).

This will be the second signing period for high school seniors after the early signing period took place in December. Members of the Class of 2025 who sign with a D-I school are also the first who sign a financial agreement instead of a letter of intent after an announcement by the NCAA Division I Council in October. Division-II signees still sign a letter of intent.

There are athletes attending other levels on this list as well.
