Napalm, Son, Nothing Else in the World Smells Like That

Smells like... victory.

I love National Signing Day.

For many recruits, signing day is the promise of a better future. For some, it’s the entrance ramp out of the cycle of poverty and onto the highway of financial stability. Some recruits are following family legacies and some recruits are creating their own. Some will represent their home state and some will run way far away chasing something else entirely. Some will leverage the opportunity of a free education and some will dream of the National Football League.

But there’s tribulations too. Every time a recruit picks a school, there’s typically a handful forced to face the failure of not securing that signature.
