Many of New England’s top prospects announced their official commitments to D1 programs for NLI Signing Day.
As future classes of D1 hopefuls survey the recruiting landscape, they will undoubtedly want to be aware of recruiting trends. Which New England D1 programs are recruiting local players? Which schools have the largest recruiting classes (signifying a preference for recruiting high school players vs. transfers)? And which states are recruiting hotbeds for each D1 program?
We try to make sense of the Class of 2026 recruiting landscape below.
For each D1 program in New England, we share the total number of high school commitments, the number of New England prospects, and the states represented in the incoming class.
