Making it official

Committing to Utica without a signing day

Utica competes in Division III, which offers no athletic scholarships and has no signing periods. Your commitment is the admission letter and the roster spot, and the school may hold a non-binding celebratory signing once you are admitted.

Those are the dates Utica commits usually post. Use COMMITTED when your coach says it is public; there is nothing to put SIGNED on unless the school holds a ceremony. More on how D3 announcements work on the Division III commitment graphics page.

01

Type the school

Enter Utica and NY. The app looks up Utica's colors for you, and you can set them yourself if you want a different look.

An action shot with your face visible works best, like a wrestling or baseball shot from a game, or a portrait in uniform.

Can the graphic say Pioneers instead of the school name?

The school name and colors come from what you type, and the design is built around your photo. Many Utica commits put "Pioneers" or a hashtag in the caption; there are caption ideas above.
