Signing Day news gets dominated by football, but there are a number of soccer signings that were made official on Wednesday as well, including many players from Central Kentucky.
While colleges often don’t publicize the signings until the buzz over football has passed, some do make the extra effort on Signing Day to highlight their soccer programs.
Here are Wednesday’s soccer signings as announced on social media and by colleges. If you see more, let us know at kysoccerguys@gmail.com and we’ll add them to the list.
