Led by five signees from now State Champion Lake Mary High School, Seminole County schools had eight athletes make their 2026 college destinations known on NCAA Fall Signing Day on December 3.
Two other former Seminole High School graduates who attended Junior College also signed with Power 4 programs and UCF had 14 athletes ink their names to National Letters of Intent.
Record-setting quarterback Noah Grubbs was the biggest name to sign and he is also joining the most notable program on the list, officially signing with Notre Dame.
A 4-year starter for the Rams, the senior finishes his career with 11,522 passing yards, good for sixth on the All-Time Florida High School list and 143 Touchdown Passes, tying him for second all-time in the State of Florida.
Another big signee was Oviedo High School standout running back inking his NLI with the United States Naval Academy, where he will join former Lake Brantley High School quarterback Braxton Woodson on the Midshipman roster.
Two signees that kind of went under the radar was former Fighting Seminoles Tavari Hampton and Da’Mun Allen announcing they would be going Division 1 with Conference USA member UTEP (Texas-El Paso) and Big12 Conference member West Virginia, respectively.
