National Signing Day 2021: Live Updates, College Football Recruiting Rankings, Early Signing Period, Classes – CBSSports.com

The first opportunity for high school prospects to lock up scholarships and formally sign National Letters of Intent began Wednesday morning and will last through Friday during the early signing period. The first National Signing Day for the Class of 2022 has arrived, and as we’ve learned over the last two years, a vast majority of the nation’s top players will be making their college decisions. In other words, the early signing period shapes the way the Class of 2022 will look across the country come February, particularly for some of the nation’s top teams.

Watch our early National Signing Day show continuing LIVE on CBS Sports HQ until 6 p.m. ET for commitments, signings, reactions and analysis. CBS Sports and 247Sports will also provide live updates all day in the story below.
