In one of Jesuit’s larges signing ceremonies ever, 15 Blue Jays announced their college commitments.

On May 3, fifteen seniors at Jesuit High School committed to continue their athletic and academic careers on the collegiate level. With parents, family members, friends, and teammates looking on, the almost-Blue Jay alumni, representing six sports, signed commitments to attend twelve different universities.

“Today is a wonderful day for these fifteen Blue Jays who are finalizing their commitments to play on an NCAA athletic team,” said Jesuit athletic director Dave Moreau, who introduced each of the athletes and their coaches to the lunchtime crowd in St. Ignatius Hall. “To be at this point where you are today, you have God-given talent and skills and you’ve received sound guidance and tutelage from your parents, family, coaches, and teachers. You brought drive, effort, competitiveness, and a teachable spirit in developing not only skills, but also a set of standards and values.”
