The signing period for college athletics commitments has arrived.
Several athletes across Southwestern Indiana will put pen to paper on the dotted line. The official early period for NCAA schools begins on Wednesday, Nov. 12, and ceremonies and announcements will continue throughout the school year. (Note: the early period for football is Dec. 3-5 before the regular period in February.)
This is a list of all athletes, in alphabetical order by school, in the Courier & Press coverage area who have announced their intentions. It will be updated throughout the 2025-26 school year – for example, some athletes plan to sign after this week and well into the spring – as they become official.
