Keeping track on the top high school recruiting prospects and where they’ll play their college football as they make decisions on National Signing Day 2018.
National Signing Day 2018 is finally upon us. It’s a time unlike any other in the college football world. It’s when young men coming out of high school will make their decisions about where they’ll spend the next four years — or at least three years removed from high school before they enter the NFL Draft.
No matter what the future holds in terms of the draft, National Signing Day can be a game-changer for programs. Yes, much of the recruiting process has already been done. The top-five recruits in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings are all signed prior to this day. However, there are still big names to sign.
Chief among the big names waiting to sign on National Signing Day is the cornerback tandem from Plantation, FL in Patrick Surtain Jr. and Tyson Campbell. While teammates, both look to be studs that could lock down opposing receivers at any level. However, they are not alone as numerous top 100 ranked players need to make their choices on Wednesday.
