Each November the second Wednesday of the month is National Letter of Intent day. In the 2020 class 66 players are committed to play ball next season. Of the 66, 19 are heading to NCAA Division 1 programs. 

Here is a breakdown by Division 1 schools:

Nebraska-Omaha leads the way with 6 commitments including Mike Boeve, Tyson Gerdes, Truitt Luth, Ryan Mendez, Preston Menicucci, and Jaxson Simmerman.

Nebraska has three commitments with Garrett Anglim, Tyler Palmer and Drew Wessel

Four of the Top 10 prospects from the 2020 class in Nebraska will be heading to the state of Kansas at the next level with Trey Frahm and Tyler Ruhl heading to Kansas State and Noah Greise and Seth Stroh signing with Wichita State.

Rounding out the D1 commitments, Millard West has Max Anderson signing with Texas A&M, Tristan Gomes to Cal State Fullerton and Lucas Ballard to South Dakota State. 

This deep class sees 26 of the commitments heading the junior college route. This class should go down as one of the deepest classes in the last 4 four years. To all those signing in the early signing period; congratulations and to those who haven't yet signed, your day will come!
