Update of the national declarations of intent; Three of the four Division I NCAA champions finish the fall season No. 1 in the ITA rankings

This will be my final update on the Division I early signing period; my previous post, featuring the first batch of those who signed the National Letters of Intent, is available here.

Signing will continue in the coming weeks as the programs look for recruits who will begin their college careers in January. Many of the articles referenced below differentiate between those starting in Spring 2026 and those expected to join the team in Fall 2026. A recruit’s country is only listed if they are not from the US.
