With February here, the end of professional preseasons and the start of the MLS/NEXT Pro season are big moments in men’s DI domestic recruiting.
Players aiming to secure a professional contract or sort out college options often have an understanding by this point in the calendar year at which direction to take. Prospects this week have signed NEXT Pro contracts who were previously slated to join college programs.
That will continue to leave a mark on the recruiting class rankings, which is assessing club soccer newcomers to the college ranks for 2026.
Check out the February update to the Men’s DI recruiting class ranking below.
