Continue ReadingWednesday, February 3rd, one of the most important days in high school football recruiting, has come and gone. National Signing Day, where recruits put pen to paper and make their verbal commitment official by signing their National Letter of Intents (NLI’s), traditionally is a day that focuses on the signings of high-level D1 prospects but has come to include and represent prep football players signing to D1s, D2s, D3s, NAIAs, and junior colleges as well. When I committed to St. Olaf College in 2012-13 to play college football, signing days for DIIIs and lower level programs were absolutely not a thing, so I’m happy to see how the celebration of college football commitments have evolved. Now that this important day has passed, let’s look back and review as complete of a list as PrepRedzoneMN could put together of every MN prep that signed two Wednesdays ago. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy!
