HOUSTON — National Early Signing is here as star athletes from all of the country can now start submitting their letters of intent to continue their careers at the next level.
The Early Signing Period started at 7 a.m. local time and continues until Friday, Dec. 17. The regular National Signing Day will be Feb. 2, 2022.
This is the fifth year for the Early Signing Period as schools and student athletes continue to lean towards making a commitment sooner rather than later.
Texas A&M holds the lead in the race for the national recruiting title in college football.
The Aggies are in front in the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher put together his fourth straight top-10 class. Alabama won nine of the previous 11 recruiting titles and is No. 2. Georgia is No. 3. The The University of Texas came in at No. 4.
The team rankings could change with the next letter-of-intent period beginning Feb. 2. Coaches say new rules allowing athletes to make money through their name, image and likeness have changed the recruiting game.
