National Signing Day used to be a big deal for college football. The first week of February brought high drama around some of the nation’s top programs on an annual basis. That all changed last year with the addition of the early signing period in December. Most schools locked up committed players and signed them, meaning February brought a lot less drama in 2018.
There was still some drama, for instance, the Virginia Tech Hokies received a commitment from 4-star linebacker Dax Hollifield on National Signing Day. However, the majority of Tech’s 2018 class was wrapped up in December and that’s how most coaches will choose to do business.
