The dream of many scholastic athletes is to get an opportunity to play at the next level, earning a college degree in the process.
The Varsity 845 schools from Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties have regularly sent their top athletes to college, announcing the signees every couple months when signing periods open.
Here is a list of 2025-26 Varsity 845 graduates who will be playing next season. If your athlete is missing, send a kind note to sports editor Ken McMillan, with the name, high school and pending college and he will add to the list once confirmed by the coach and/or athletic director.
