NCAA Coaches Give Verbal Offers To New England 2027 Top Players

<p class="has-medium-font-size">The NCAA Football Contact winter period came to an end on January 30, 2026. The final two weeks of January saw heightened activity in New England, as football programs from various levels flocked to the region. In this report, I will highlight the standout players who received verbal offers from NCAA college coaches during this recent winter contact period. We have identified 70 players who received interest from NCAA coaches during this period. We expect this class to expand further, with additional players likely to receive more verbal offers during the spring evaluation period in 2026, which begins in mid-April.</p>   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Offers Earned *</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Name *</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">School State</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Class *</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Est.

The NCAA Football Contact winter period came to an end on January 30, 2026. The final two weeks of January saw heightened activity in New England, as football programs from various levels flocked to the region. In this report, I will highlight the standout players who received verbal offers from NCAA college coaches during this recent winter contact period. We have identified 70 players who received interest from NCAA coaches during this period. We expect this class to expand further, with additional players likely to receive more verbal offers during the spring evaluation period in 2026, which begins in mid-April.
