This year’s edition of National Signing Day is set to look a bit different for the class of 2025.
While players will no longer sign a National Letter of Intent to play college athletics, future players are still set to put pen to paper beginning on November 13.
2025 Player Rankings: Boys | Girls
Instead of an NLI, players will sign a scholarship agreement. That prohibits them from communicating with any other schools, and sets the player on course for playing college soccer.
TDS is set to provide coverage of Signing Day starting on Wednesday, November 13 and beyond. This year's coverage of National Signing Day is presented by IMG Academy. As the men's and women's college season reaches tournament time, a new class is set to make it official for next year.
2025 Recruiting Class Rankings: Men's | Women's
Here’s how you can get involved and be featured on Signing Day and beyond:
–If you take a photo signing your scholarship agreement, please send any photos to editor@topdrawersoccer.com. Please send any tips and information to that address as well.
–Please email us when your club is set to celebrate its senior class. We will restore our coverage to the front page on a regular basis as more information is released and schools announce their recruiting classes
Updates are set to be posted throughout the day below as the Early Signing window opens for 2025 graduates.
November 15
9:30 a.m. -- The Colorado Rapids have six players going to Division I programs next year, revealing where the group is going on Thursday. Zackory Campagnolo going to Duke is the big one.
They’re committed! 🖊️

We celebrated six of our talented U18s that are continuing their athletic careers in college! ⚽

10:05 a.m. -- Purdue and William & Mary are announcing their 2025 classes starting today. Cherry Yu is a talented player set to join the Boilermakers.
4 p.m. -- Here's a look at the class of 2025 from the Portland Thorns Academy.

November 14
8 a.m. -- Transfers are likely to come much later, though with the roster limits it is unclear how it will impact recruiting. Arizona State did annoucne one addition, as Miki Hayashi is joining the Big 12 program from Tyler Junior College.
8:15 a.m. -- The news continues on Thursday. North Carolina announced the addition of Djem Kopelaar, a Dutch youth international who plays at PSV Eindhoven.

Couldn't be happier to have Djem Koppelaar in Chapel Hill next year! #GoHeels x #NationalSigningDay pic.twitter.com/Wnqr4gfViJ
10:05 p.m. -- Several clubs held a Signing Day event last night, hence why coverage will continue into today. LA Surf was one of those, sending players off to men's and women's programs around the country.
10:30 a.m. -- Indy Premier, a club in the Girls Academy, announced its signees this morning.
10:45 a.m. -- Coaching changes can always leave an impact on a player's college choice. Maryland women's program is one of the big schools with a current opening, but they did announce the addition of McKinley Heaven on Thursday. The striker is an in-state standout who plays at Bethesda SC.
11 a.m. -- One of the best teams in the ECNL Boys over the past few years has been the DKSC 07 team. Playing a brand of possession-oriented soccer, they have five players from the class of 2025 committed to play at schools starting next year. That includes three at Tulsa, with Jareth Mejia, the first announced.
1 p.m. -- Add another international addition. Santa Clara women's soccer has a history of finding talented players from outside the United States. Israeli midfielder Adee Goulden is an attacking midfielder and winger that will join the WCC program from Hapoel Jerusalem FC.
1:30 p.m. -- Get the full list of college destinations for two clubs from Florida: Tampa Bay United and Jacksonville FC. Both boys teams are in MLS NEXT and girls sides in the ECNL.
3:15 p.m. -- Some of the best MLS Academy players always end up committing and signing at Portland. The 2025 edition is no different, with Johann Ortiz (Sporting KC) now confirmed. He's one of many talented players committed to the Bluff. The question facing both the Pilots and other top programs is how many end up making it to campus.

Signing Day Live Updates - Nov. 13
8 a.m. -- Virginia Development Academy announced its 2025 signings first thing in the morning. Check out the full rundown from the club, as they announced each individual on its Twitter feed.
9:15 a.m. -- While the team is preparing for its first round matchup, Notre Dame(w) became one of the first major Division I programs to post about a signing, with Gianna Scott heading to South Bend.

9:30 a.m. -- One of the schools in the middle of a coaching search, NC State announced the addition of Top 200 recruit Daisy Duda for 2025.
9:45 a.m. -- Reese Klein, a standout from Florida, becomes the highest-ranked recruit to be confirmed by a school at this point. The No. 14 player in the Club Soccer Player Rankings, is heading to Clemson. With the shifting landscape in women's soccer, it's not a guarantee that all committed players will end up on campus.
10 a.m. -- Here's the rundown of the class of 2025 at Internationals SC, a powerhouse in Ohio.
Another group of players we’re excited to see off and celebrate tonight on Signing Day! #ecnlgirls#srcommit #signingday #soccer #ncaasoccer @ECNLgirls @Sports_Recruits pic.twitter.com/7mYuCcMTwr

10:25 a.m. -- The 2024 ECNL Girls Under-17 National Champions, Beach FC (CA), announced their commitments over on Instagram. The team has several players who project to make an immediate impact. That includes Avery Oder (Duke) and Morgan Farnham (California).
10:45 a.m. -- There's an obvious difference in recruiting timelines between men's and women's Division I soccer. As most women's recruits are signing their scholarship agreements today, men's recruits for 2025 are still sorting their futures. As an example, West Virginia landed the commitment of Adrick Bayer earlier today.
10:50 a.m. -- Breaking news is few and far between on College Soccer Signing Day. This year, however, Marlee Raymond announced her reclassification from 2026 to 2025. She'll join Penn State next fall.
11 a.m. -- Solar SC's Jordyn Hardeman, the No. 4 ranked player in the class, is announced by Virginia as part of next year's class. Getting the U.S. youth national team veteran to Charlottesville will be the big question, as she is the highest-rated player who hasn't turned pro.

11:05 a.m. -- International talent and transfers will leave their mark on the class of 2025 over the next few months. The former is going to be revealed sooner. The Vancouver Whitecaps announced the additions to women's DI programs as part of Signing Day.
11:10 a.m. -- A handful of men's programs are getting in on the act of announcing recruits. Owen Hornig (Wisconsin), Alex Rosin (Notre Dame) and Josh Torquato (Wake Forest) have all been confirmed by their respective schools.
11:45 a.m. -- Speaking of top men's programs, the Montverde Academy to Clemson pipeline continues for this year's class. Abdou Mane's is part of the new group heading to the ACC school.
12 p.m. -- Another perennial men's DI power, West Virginia, relies on a combination of top international talent and domestic players. Sammie Walker, an All-American from Maryland and Brayden Macomber (Richmond United), have signed with the Mountaineers.
12:05 p.m. -- With Lexi Missimo and Trinity Byars set to leave Texas, the team will need attacking reinforcements. Enter FC Dallas star Ava McDonald.

12:35 p.m. -- West coast programs have started to get in on the act. Santa Clara has managed to secure a top local standout in Jalena Kimber. She should bring a quality attacking presence as a freshman.
1 p.m. -- https://x.com/UKWomensSoccer/status/1856758750566387840Goalkeeper Khadijah Cisse is part of Kentucky's 2025 signing class, another player from Canada that could be an X-Factor for the SEC side.
1:05 p.m. -- Reclassified talent continues to pop up and sign scholarship agreements. Pearl Cecil is off to Virginia, as the talented center back is one of the top players in the country born in 2008.
1:20 p.m. -- It's been a tremendous season for Wake Forest women's soccer, which heads into the tournament seeking to make a deep run. They announced the addition of one of the top goalkeepers in the class in Elizabeth Thornton, from Northern Virginia Alliance.
1:30 p.m. -- Matthew Eger, a Top 200 recruit from Cedar Stars Academy, has signed with the Penn State men's soccer program. It wasn't a great year for the Nittany Lions, but Eger's a solid addition at the back.
1:40 p.m. -- Florida Premier FC is sending a slew of boys and girls to colleges around the country. The same can be said about Eclipse Select and its 2025 class.
1:45 p.m. -- Some schools are announcing their new classes. Auburn is one of the first, as the Tigers prepare for the NCAA tournament.
2:15 p.m. -- Several players in the class of 2025 were impacted by the new NCAA rules. While the legistlation has yet to go through, most schools operated under the assumed rule about a 28-player roster limit. That impacted players such as Sohana Spencer, who was previously committed to Florida. Now, the Texas standout has signed to play at Boston College. It's still unclear how the new rules will impact player movement in the transfer portal as well.
2:17 p.m. -- Florida State has one of the Top 10 recruiting classes. Included in that is Michigan Hawks standout Mya Brandon, who is the first player in the class announced. ACC foe North Carolina has announced Bella Devey and Cameron Maynor on social media.
2:30 p.m. -- Charlotte Soccer Academy posted a list of its early signees. Check out the full rundown from HTX Soccer as well.

Congratulations to these CSA c/o 2025 players that have committed to continue their academic and soccer careers at the next level! We look forward to additional c/o 2025 signings over the next several months as we have many close to signing! pic.twitter.com/CsTjs0Fh1T
2:40 p.m. -- While the bulk of the players from the girls rankings have either been announced or signed a scholarship agreement, it's a much smaller list on the men's side on the first day of the window opening. Some players are still weighing up pro options or have signed a pro contract already. Some have, including the aforementioned Eger, Karson Baquero (Notre Dame), Dalton Bulowski (Northwestern), Xander Sevian (Clemson) and Owen Hornig (Wisconsin), to name a few.
3:15 p.m. -- Minnesota has announced its class of 2025, with nine talented players joining the program. It's a mix of in-state talent, and some intriguing players with high upside from outside of the state. Tyra Chu (Nationals) was recently called into a U.S. U19 WNT camp, Emily Filbrun comes from the vaunted Michigan Hawks side and Hannah Heinlein from San Juan SC. The roster math also adds up: currently with 27 players, the team has three seniors and six grad students on the roster. Nine players (most likely) out, and nine in.
6:30 p.m. -- The Tulsa men's soccer program is one of the first to officially announce an international recruit for 2025. Nkansa is a right back from England, coming to the AAC school after playing for the Ipswich Town youth setup.

7 p.m. -- Another reclassification has come from a top player in the class of 2026. Riley Kennedy, a U.S. youth national team pool player from the 08 age group, will join North Carolina next year. Kennedy is a talented midfielder and part of a very good NC Courage 08 ECNL squad.
8:20 p.m. -- Bethesda SC forward Nyanya Touray is joining Florida State next year as well. The forward is another 08 with U.S. youth national team experience, providing a big boost to the Seminoles attack.
