Student-Athletes Sign Letters of Intent

Congratulations to the McDonogh student-athletes who, on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, were recognized for their commitment to playing the sport they love in college. Twenty-three student-athletes from the Class of 2026 were joined by their families, coaches, classmates, teammates, and Director of Athletics Jeff Parsons, who reminded them of the dedication it takes to balance academics and athletics.

Next year, the seniors listed below will retire their McDonogh orange and black for the colors and mascots of their new colleges and universities, but they will always be Eagles to us.
