Today’s the day folks.
It’s the biggest day of the college football off-season as National Signing Day is upon us, and Rant Sports will have you covered throughout the day with our Big Board.
Our writers are watching the proceedings across the country and will be adding their takes on signings from Robert Nkemdiche‘s announcement to the more minor signings that may seem small in comparison, but have an affect on their teams nonetheless.
Over the course of time, National Signing Day has become an institution, as closely followed by some as the NFL or NBA Drafts — a single day that affects the lives of countless numbers of young men and the programs at which they choose to spend their college years.
Loganville, Georgia defensive end Robert Nkemdiche is the crown jewel of the 2013 class and his recruitment has been shrouded in mystery with several teams being thought to be in the mix, but no one knowing for sure just who he will choose. Nkemdiche is as much of a can’t-miss prospect as there has been since Jadaveon Clowney and whoever lands him will have an instant impact player on their hands.
He’s far from the only instant impact talent in the 2013 class, however, and our team of writers is here to break down how each of these guys will make a difference on campus next fall.
Continue to visit back throughout the day for more article links from our college football writers and their takes on Signing Day as it unfolds!
