2023 College Signing Day – PowerStrength Edition
National Signing Day is the time when high school seniors officially make their college commitment to continue their academic and athletic careers. This day is a major milestone for athletes, parents, and their school programs as it marks years of dedication, hard work, and sacrifice. It is a great achievement and one that always warrants recognition and celebration.
We at PowerStrength have tremendous pride in our West Michigan athlete community and want our athletes to succeed as much as possible. Having Signing Day arrive and seeing all the work pay off for the athletes we are fortunate enough to work with is incredible.
Collectively, there are currently 51 total athletes from PowerStrength, across 11 different sports, in the 2023 Class with plans to continue their playing career in college. 39 currently committed and 12 remain undecided for now. (*It’s possible we missed someone, please let us know if we did!).
Whether it’s NCAA Division 1 or NAIA, scholarship or non-scholarship, football or volleyball – these athletes are in an elite group! Committing to a college sport is not for everyone and their choice to continue on says a lot about their love of the game and work ethic. Earning this opportunity is no easy task and every single one of these athletes bet on themselves and did the work – in their sport, the classroom, and in their training.
This is a special, collective group! They all have amazing individual journey’s and it’s a privilege to have a front-row seat watching them achieve their goals.
HUGE congratulations to the PowerStrength 2023 College Signing Day Class and all other athletes signing today in West Michigan!
