The early National Letter of Intent signing period for several NCAA sports ended Wednesday and the University of Washington is thrilled to welcome 30 new student-athletes into the Husky athletics family.

The early signing period allows high school student-athletes in every sport the UW sponsors - other than football, soccer, track and field and cross country - to formally accept a scholarship offer to attend the UW and participate in intercollegiate athletics. The signing period for the remaining sports begins on February 3.
