National Signing Day was took place on Wednesday. Signing day is not what it used to be a few years ago when it comes to activity with teams. Top prospects still made headlines on Wednesday as well as some colleges were able to secure some big names. Yet, for other colleges, not so much.

Some winners for National Signing Day are Georgia, Texas and Texas A&M. University of Georgia is the number one team in the in recruiting class for the second year in a row with a class of five five-stars, 15 four-stars and six three-stars. The Bulldogs were able to flip defensive back Daran Branch from Ole Miss and land in-state lineman Cameron Kinnie and four-star running back Daijun Edwards. The University of Texas was Number 9 in the recruiting class this year with a class of 13 four-stars and nine three-stars. The Vols signed a four-star wide receiver Kelvontay Dixon on Tuesday. The Longhorns beat out University of Oklahoma for the best recruiting class in the Big 12 Conference. Number 6 University of Texas A&M had a big win by signing the four-star recruit, defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson. He is a player who can make a large impact right away in the fall. They ended with a class of two five-stars, 13 four-stars and 11 three-stars.
Some of the losers National Signing Day are USC, Boston College and Rutgers. USC wasn’t able to make much noise. They were Number 54 in the recruiting class, which is the worst in school history. This bad luck flooded into the rest of the conference as none of the teams from the Pac 12 Conference made it into the top ten of recruiting this year. Boston College and Rutgers were Number 62 and Number 63 this year, respectively. However, both of these programs have new coaches that are looking forward to prove themselves for next year in 2021.
