The biggest day in college football recruiting is here. National signing week’s early period begins Wednesday and lasts until Friday. This is the time when high school recruits are able to sign their national letters of intent to lock them into the college of their choice.
This is only the third year that football has had an early signing period, as opposed to simply national signing day, the first Wednesday in February.
We’ve seen more and more prospects make their decisions earlier and earlier. In fact, 71% of FBS prospects signed early in 2017, and that number jumped to 77% in 2018.
We be updating you throughout the next few days, providing updated class rankings, news, analysis, highlights and more.
We’ll be updating our class rankings every hour, so stay tuned to see how the latest signings affect your team.
