The final day of college football’s 2018 recruiting cycle is just about done. Below, you’ll find the schedule, a pile of news, and the updated rankings.
Your National Signing Day 2018 HQ, with schedules, news, rankings and more
Your one-click stop for everything to know about Signing Day.
The biggest storyline was going to be whether Georgia, Ohio State, or Zombie Alabama would have the No. 1 class. Well, it’s Georgia, then OSU, and then everybody else. The top-rated recruit on the board entering NSD was Patrick Surtain Jr., one of many 2018ers with famous parents. He picked Bama.
Otherwise, we’ll see some silly signing ceremonies, hear some new NSD tales of legend, lie to ourselves about how none of this matters (of course it matters), and accuse our rivals of flagrant cheating. Pretty normal Signing Day!

When Jacob Copeland committed to Florida, his mom (in Alabama and Tennessee gear) just stood up and left.
Well, a bunch of team Twitter accounts got suspended for posting copyrighted material (most likely songs).
It’s Georgia with the day’s most memorable ceremony: a crying niece.
Baylor suddenly has head coaching rumors to deal with on Signing Day, thanks to the Colts.
