National Signing Day 2019: See where Kentucky’s high school athletes are headed next
National Signing Day for high school football players is here.
Division I and Division II football recruits were able sign national letters of intent beginning Dec. 19 and could do so through Dec. 21 as part of the early signing period, but were no longer able to do so until Wednesday. Division I recruits can sign NLIs through April 1 while Division II players can sign through Aug. 1, which is also the cutoff date for all other Division I and Division II signees in other sports.
Below is a list of Kentucky who have or planned to sign letters of intent during the regular signing period. Click here for a list of non-football playing athletes who signed during the early period.
If you know of a Kentucky athlete not listed who plans to sign this month, please notify Josh Moore via Twitter (@HLpreps) or email (jmoore@herald-leader.com).
Note: Students listed that have committed to non-NCAA Division I and Division II schools sign NLI on a ceremonial basis only.
