ESPN has announced how they will be covering all the action that is National Signing Day for 2016.
While the college football season has recently come to a close, the fact of the matter is that for most of us college football never really comes to an end. Once Alabama defeated Clemson back on January 11, we were all looking forward to the next big event in college football –National Signing Day, which will be taking place on February 3.
Of course, one of the best things about National Signing Day is the fact that we get to watch it all play out live because the folks at ESPN do not miss a beat. From the early morning when the action begins, they’re all about letting us know where some of the top football players coming out of high school will be attending college for the next few years.
