National Letter of Intent - Athletes
National Letter of Intent is a binding commitment by an athlete to play collegiate athletics for a particular college or university in exchange for a scholarship. (This means your senior is signing a commitment to a Division I or Division II school to play a sport and receiving athletic financial aid for playing the sport. This would also mean the college or university has been in contact with you and your senior about the signing the paperwork. )
(This is not the signing date for D-III or JUCO or NAIA Schools)
November 11, 2026 is the first of three signing time periods for prospective senior student-athletes, who have played at Eagan, to sign their National Letters of Intent.
We will celebrate our D-1 and D-2 athletes at this signing.
If you have a senior (12th Grade) student who will be signing to play college athletics during this time period please fill out the following form:
