Old College Try

Several sport stars make their college choice official on Feb. 6, and we’ve put all our coverage in one place.

Feb. 6 was National Letter of Intent signing day for athletes accepting scholarships in the following sports: football, soccer, track and field, cross country and boys water polo. We spent the day providing as much coverage as possible.

Below you’ll find an initial list of football signees, as well as multimedia from our visits to six different high schools across Northern California.
