Where CT’s football players are going

The NCAA’s signing period for football players for the Class of 2024 is underway. The early signing period begins Wednesday, December 20-22. The regular signing period for Division I and II football recruits will begin February 7, 2024. It will end April 1 for Division I recruits and August 1 for Division II recruits.

Below is an evolving list of Connecticut natives and state prep school football players in the Class of 2024 who have committed or have already signed. Prep school players from Connecticut have their hometowns noted in parentheses.

The list, which will include all high school and prep players in Connecticut, has been compiled by the staff at GameTimeCT through various sources. Prep school players have their hometowns or previous schools noted in parentheses.

It will constantly be updated beyond both National Signing days, into the summer as more and more players make their decisions. Not all players sign letters of intent, including Ivy League (Division I) programs and all Division III programs.

While we will attempt to get everybody listed, it isn’t currently comprehensive. Players who have signed or schools who have a list of players who have signed should notify us at info@gametimect.com or on Twitter @GameTimeCT to be included. You can also send your signing day photos for display on our gallery.
