BYU’s football recruiting class will lean heavily on returned missionaries

Provo • While college football’s national signing day is still set for the first Wednesday of February, the early signing period — a 72-hour window — gets underway Wednesday for recruits wanting to sign their 2020 National Letters of Intent.

“We can sign them and lock them up and let them have a good holiday break and announce it later,” Sitake said. “Right now, I think it'll be good for the missionaries to get recognized, who are starting in January as well.”

Returned missionaries will most likely take up the bulk of BYU’s early signing period commitments.
