National Signing Day was took place on Wednesday. Signing day is not what it used to be a few years ago when it comes to activity with teams. Top prospects still made headlines on Wednesday as well as some colleges were able to secure some big names. Yet, for other colleges, not so much.

Some winners for National Signing Day are Georgia, Texas and Texas A&M. University of Georgia is the number one team in the in recruiting class for the second year in a row with a class of five five-stars, 15 four-stars and six three-stars. The Bulldogs were able to flip defensive back Daran Branch from Ole Miss and land in-state lineman Cameron Kinnie and four-star running back Daijun Edwards. The University of Texas was Number 9 in the recruiting class this year with a class of 13 four-stars and nine three-stars. The Vols signed a four-star wide receiver Kelvontay Dixon on Tuesday. The Longhorns beat out University of Oklahoma for the best recruiting class in the Big 12 Conference. Number 6 University of Texas A&M had a big win by signing the four-star recruit, defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson. He is a player who can make a large impact right away in the fall. They ended with a class of two five-stars, 13 four-stars and 11 three-stars.

Some of the losers National Signing Day are USC, Boston College and Rutgers. USC wasn’t able to make much noise. They were Number 54 in the recruiting class, which is the worst in school history. This bad luck flooded into the rest of the conference as none of the teams from the Pac 12 Conference made it into the top ten of recruiting this year. Boston College and Rutgers were Number 62 and Number 63 this year, respectively. However, both of these programs have new coaches that are looking forward to prove themselves for next year in 2021.

Ohio State University started National Signing Day with a bang Wednesday with 24 letters of intent coming their way. National Signing Day allows high school players to notify schools of their choice with the intention of playing for them in the following season.

Beginning at 7 a.m, letters started piling up as Ohio State received 24 letters including four star quarterback C.J. Stroud who notified the school a little after 12:30 p.m. The school also signed two five-star recruits. Elite stand-out wide receiver Julian Fleming and a game-changing offensive tackle, Paris Johnson.

Fleming was ranked the top receiver overall, by ESPN and turned down offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and Penn State. “For a while, I thought I was going to Penn State, then for a while I thought I was going to Clemson, and then I just finally settled down and figured it out. It was just the at-home feeling and their players. [Ohio State] puts their players first and all my visits there, I had countless hours with all the players, so I really got the college vibe right away.”

Head Coach Ryan Day adds Fleming to a loaded team from last year that includes three receivers that were ranked in the top 15. “This is the strongest class of receivers that he can remember. Julian Fleming is a great young man with an awesome family. His family is going to support him very well. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an unbelievable season. Gee Scott has people always saying great things about him. He’s been loyal from the get go. Mookie Cooper couldn’t play this year, but he’s a slot receiver with great short-area quickness who is looking forward to getting back on the field,” Day told the media.

Johnson is a stud offensive lineman with grown man size at 6’6, 280 lbs and Ohio State has now signed a five year recruit every year since 2012.

The Buckeyes also recruited quarterback Jack Miller. “It was huge to get two quarterbacks in this class. The transfer portal made it paramount. The idea is to have four quarterbacks in the room and that’s not easy to do. Jack Miller has been committed all along and has been loyal throughout without wavering. CJ Stroud came on a little later. Both are excited to come in here and fight for playing time. They won’t be fighting to start next year, but they could be battling to be the backup next year and if you are the backup, anything can happen,” said Day.

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year: college football national signing day. The top prospects from across the country commit to where they’re most likely to spend the rest of their college career.

National Signing Day 2019 Arrives

The initial signing day period significantly impacted the recruiting landscape, as around 70 percent Division I football prospects were signed, but several key unsigned recruits made moves and decisions that will eventually change the futures of some of the top programs in the nation. Keep in mind the potential for a walk-on to join the team. And just like every other class, this one is sure to have its characters.

Miami won national signing day this year by inking intimidating, tattooed Australian punter Louis Hedley: 

Alabama finished the day by winning the 2019 first day with the No. 1 recruiting class, the eighth time in the last nine years they have been awarded that recognition. Probably the basis of Alabama’s great team and historic franchise comes from the ability to get good new players.

Four championships come out of this time as well. NFL star Amari Cooper was an Alabama recruit before he got to the NFL. Georgia’s recruiting class was ranked second, grabbing the most 5 stars outside of any school ranked top 5 in recruiting class.

That does not mean the domineering Crimson Tide were the only team to have a great day. They faced SEC competition from Tennessee and Auburn, both of whom had a good day as well by getting a couple of the top 15 prospects in the nation. Alabama capped it off by having 15 of the top 100 prospects commit to their school for this upcoming season.

Twitter and other social media platforms have helped make National Signing Day a viral event in recent years, but this year some college football programs have been hit with suspensions on their accounts.

National Signing Day College Football Twitter suspensions

On Tuesday, the Texas Longhorns‘ football Twitter account was briefly suspended. The momentary shutdown shocked many, as Texas’ page was verified and had nearly 190,000 followers.

Then on Wednesday, (National Signing Day) three other universities — Georgia, Missouri and South Florida — also had their Twitter accounts suspended. Those three pages were restored early Wednesday morning.

Nevertheless, many followers remained perplexed for a brief time.

A person affiliated with Missouri’s football account explained the reason for the suspended pages: copyright violations committed by using songs in promotional videos. The employee also noted that the Tigers have ben using said songs for years but hadn’t been reprimanded for this until now.

There is an act called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that dictates online accounts are automatically suspended after three violations within a certain period.

Some of Missouri’s and USF’s tweets prompted takedowns as a result of filings by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Twitter also filed several notices.

Although no college football games will be played on Wednesday, Feb. 3, because the season is over, this is still a big day for college football.

As per National Signing Day tradition, the best 17 and 18-year-old high-schoolers from around the country will officially announce which colleges they will be playing for.

“It started in 1981 when the powers that be decided that they should all commit on the same day, the players to the teams and the teams to the players,” college football analyst John Bacon stated in an interview with Here and Now’s Robin Young. “Until tomorrow, you’re engaged but you’re not married.”

When asked how the selection process differs from the NFL Draft, Bacon said: “They’re high school kids. They’re 17 years old. They are not going to get paid. They’re not really in control of a lot of this. However, I will say this: when you’re a hotshot college senior you go to the team that you want to go to least, probably the worst one of the league. When you’re a hotshot high school senior, you have most of the power in this equation, you get to pick where you want to go. The flip side is, in the NFL, everybody gets only one first-round pick but in college football Alabama can get five first-rounders, and they get to keep them all. So that changes things quite a bit.”

All eyes will be on Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh and his team. The Wolverines currently stand at No. 6.
