One of the biggest days on the college football calendar is here as National Signing Day kicked off Wednesday.
A majority of college recruits use this day to sign their letters of intent.
It will be the usual suspects vying to score the top ranking on recruiting sites, with SEC stalwarts Alabama and Georgia leading the way, with Texas A&M strong after receiving verbal commits from several five-star prospects.
This is the fifth year of the early signing period, which was usually held in February. But this trend might be on its last legs, as it has contributed to upheaval with schools scrambling to keep recruits amid a rash of coaches being dismissed or taking different jobs before the signing period.
Some of the biggest teams and recruits and where they will be signing:
(Will be updated throughout the day)
Texas A&M
The Aggies got a commitment from tight end Jake Johnson, the son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson. Johnson is the nation’s No. 1 tight end recruit and had decommited from LSU amid the coaching change from Ed Orgeron to Brian Kelly.
Jackson State
Jackson State pulled off an absolute stunner flipping cornerback Travis Hunter from Florida State.

Tyre West, a four-star defensive tackle from Tifton, Georgia, had been verbally committed to the Georgia Bulldogs since last year, but the Volunteers swooped in and scored the flip, besting their SEC East rival and Florida State.
