Class of 2024 student-athletes throughout Orange County spent Wednesday celebrating with family, friends, teammates and classmates after making their college plans official on National Signing Day.
Wednesday was the first day that senior athletes in all sports besides football could officially sign a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play a sport for a school at the collegiate level.
Several schools held special events to celebrate the occasion, while lots of athletes signed their NLI at home while surrounded by their families.
OCVarsity has a list of the athletes who were signing on Wednesday, and below are photos from Mater Dei’s ceremony. There is also a collection of social media posts put out by county schools.
