FOXBOROUGH, MA. – Nine Revolution Academy players have announced their college commitments for the 2017-18 academic year. Today marks the first day that a high school senior can sign a binding National Letter of Intent for a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member institution.

"We are very proud that nearly all of these Academy graduates joined us five years ago with our inaugural U14 team. The progress and development that they have made is a testament to the hard work each player has put in throughout a very challenging process,” Revolution Director of Youth Development Bryan Scales said, “I believe that their best soccer is still ahead of them as they embark on the next phase of their journey at some of the best universities in the nation."

UnitedHealthcare Academy Player of the Year Justin Rennicks has committed to play for perennial NCAA Division 1 soccer power Indiana University.

Joseph Brito will play for 2016 Conference USA Regular Season Champion University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Two pairs of Academy alums will remain teammates in college as they join two 2016 NCAA Tournament participants. Izaiah Jennings and Trey Miller will play for the University of Louisville, while Alex Shterenberg and Nick Woodruff will don the green and white for Michigan State University.

Rounding out the list of college commitments, Eddie Walsh will play for Xavier University, who most recently qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2014.
