NYS Class of 2026 College Golf Commitments
JAMESVILLE, N.Y. -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Early Signing Period for the Class of 2026 began on November 12, and high school senior athletes have officially announced their plans to play collegiately. New York State athletes have recently made their announcements committed to join NCAA golf programs.
In October 2024, the NCAA elected to eliminate the National Letter of Intent (NLI). The NLI has been a major part of the college recruiting process for 60 years, starting in 1964. The National Letter of Intent (NLI) will be replaced with financial aid agreements between the NCAA and student-athletes. The NCAA Division I Council endorsed this change, which affected the Class of 2025 and those that follow.
