    With hard work and dedication both in and out of the classroom, 15 Eden Prairie High School (EPHS) student/athletes have earned scholarships in their chosen sport. They made it official in a ceremony on Wednesday at the high school by signing their national letters of intent (NLI) on national signing day.

    The Eagles’ signees come from a variety of sports, including boys hockey, boys swimming and diving, football, girls basketball, girls lacrosse, girls soccer, and volleyball. 

    Wednesday, Feb. 1, marks the first day many high school recruits may sign their national letters of intent to Division I and Division II colleges and universities. By putting their signature on the NLI, each athlete is committing to their school of choice for participation in their freshman athletic season.

    In alphabetical order, here are the 2023 NLI signees from Eden Prairie High School:
