Five Berkeley Student-Athletes Commit to College Athletic Programs
On April 12, five Berkeley student-athletes committed to continue their athletic endeavors at some of the best colleges and universities in the country as part of Spring Signing Day. They join 15 members of the Class of 2023 who have already signed a National Letter of Intent. Those committing to compete for a Division 1 program signed the National Letter of Intent.
“Today is a special day as many student-athletes across the country sign their National Letters of Intent,” said athletic director Melaney O’Carroll ’84. “These five student-athletes donned the Buccaneer uniform and represented Berkeley admirably as they join 96 Buccaneer alumni currently competing at the college level. Each has proven that athletic excellence can co-exist with exemplary performance in the classroom. Congratulations to you all – we are so proud of you.”
National Signing Day has become an annual tradition at Berkeley honoring the hard work and dedication of our senior Buccaneers who will continue their academic and athletic endeavors at the next level of college sports.
The Berkeley spring signees include:
Sam Adebonojo – Track & Field – Flagler College
Gus Barrido – Baseball – U.S. Coast Guard

About the National Letter of Intent: The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an NLI member institution. A prospective student-athlete agrees to attend the institution full-time for one academic year (two semesters or three quarters). Once a student-athlete is admitted, the institution agrees to provide athletics financial aid for one academic year (two semesters or three quarters).
