Eleven Rams Commit to Colleges on Early Signing Day

Eleven amazing student-athletes were celebrated Wednesday morning during National Signing Day, an event for all D1 and D2 sports outside of football and basketball. We had a record eleven Rams formally commit to their colleges, and we gathered with them, their coaches, and their friends and family in the Steward Family Aquatic Center’s Hall of Fame for a spirited celebration. 

Josh Smith, Athletics Director, said, “We are excited and honored as a community to have 11 members from the class of 2027 sign early. These student-athletes are wonderful ambassadors of our programs. We can’t wait to see what this talented and driven group accomplishes at the next level.”

“These students have devoted countless hours to their studies and their sports, and that dedication has opened the door to these exciting opportunities ahead,” noted Matt Essman, Director of College Counseling. “We thank them for their many contributions to the MICDS community and can’t wait to see what they accomplish next.”
