29 Seniors Honored At Gonzaga Sports Signing Day 2018

More than a decade ago, Athletic Director Joe Reyda '85 began organizing a ceremony every February to recognize all of the student-athletes who will play their sport in college at any level. "It is one of my favorite days of the year,” says Reyda, adding that is always a wonderful opportunity for the boys to share their appreciation for their parents, coaches, teachers, and teammates. Gonzaga holds the “Senior Signing Day” on National Signing Day when football players officially submit their letters of intent across the country; but due to inclement weather, the 2018 ceremony was moved to February 14.

Baseball- Nick Escoto (Holy Cross), Jacob Hardney (Purdue)
