NLI (National Letter of Intent) Signing Day has always been a big deal for Xavier Prep’s graduating seniors who are moving on to the next level.

On Wednesday (Nov. 14), the school raised the bar with a big signing ceremony at Founders Hall.

Approximately 200 people were in attendance – including family members, coaches, teammates and other students.

The nine Gator standouts wore sweatshirts of their college as well as big smiles. And school officials unveiled a new backdrop for pictures that signifies the occasion.

It was another great day for Xavier, and we look forward to many more!
