Wednesday marked National Signing Day for high school athletes across the country, and a group of Fordham Prep students made their big decisions for their athletic and educational careers.

Parents, families and fellow students cheered on and celebrated the 13 seniors that made their commitments to their respective college programs in sports like baseball, football, track and field, basketball and soccer.

The 13 students chose a variety of schools, including Cornell, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, University of Houston, and more.

The seniors say that while the recruiting process has been tough, it’s rewarding to see all of their hard work finally paying off.
