The class of 2024 early signing period just wrapped up yesterday with National Signing Day 2023. As we have done in the past, we have created a list of all the players that signed with each team in the SoCon.

Each entry includes the player's Name, Position(s), Height, Weight, School, and Hometown. Additionally, an asterisk (*) denotes players transferring from another school whether it be from a NCAA, NAIA, or Junior College/Community College.

If we missed anyone, feel free to DM Redshirt Sports!
