Check back below for news throughout college football’s Signing Day.
February 1 is National Signing Day, the day when college football teams finally announce their signed recruits, after players slide around hats and fans scream at each other online. And all of it matters!
The big storyline, again: is this finally the year somebody can top Alabama? The Tide have had the No. 1 consensus class six years in a row and enter the day ranked highest again, but Ohio State, Georgia, and Florida State have arguments, and Stanford’s small class is loaded as well.
The No. 1 overall recruit, DE Jaelan Phillips, is set to UCLA, though the individual rating services disagree so much that three others also rank No. 1 at one outlet or another (Alabama RB Najee Harris, Tennessee OT Trey Smith, and Stanford OT Walker Little). The top QB: Stanford’s Davis Mills. The top player who’ll be committing on Signing Day: five-star DT Marvin Wilson, who’s expected to pick either FSU or LSU.
Below you’ll find:
- Updates on big commits, flips, and drama as they happen

1. The general schedule of commits
This isn’t complete or set in stone, but it’s about as solid as this sort of thing can be. All times are Eastern. Many ceremonies will be available for viewing and online streaming via television networks local to the prospect.
(The most widely predicted favorite team, per the 247Sports Crystal Ball, is listed first for each player.)
