National Letters of Intent Signings Update; Three of Four Division I NCAA Champions End Fall Season No. 1 in ITA Rankings

This will be my last update on the Division I early signing period; my previous post, with the first batch of those signing National Letters of Intent, available here.

Signings will continue in the coming weeks as programs scramble for recruits who will begin their college careers in January. Many of articles linked to below do distinguish between those starting in spring of 2026 and those who are expected to join the team in the fall of 2026. A recruit's country is provided only if not from the USA.
