National Signing Day 2025: Drama, Flips, and Recruiting Battles
It’s that time of year again, folks! College football’s national signing day is officially here, and the early signing period for the Class of 2025 is already delivering the kind of drama that keeps fans glued to their screens. Starting Wednesday, high school recruits can sign their national letters of intent, officially committing to the colleges of their choice. And let’s just say, the past few weeks leading up to this moment have been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.
The Big Names Making Big Moves
The spotlight has been shining brightly on the top two players in the ESPN 300, quarterbacks Bryce Underwood and Julian Lewis. Both players made headlines recently with their jaw-dropping decisions. Underwood, the No. 1 recruit, flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan, sending shockwaves through the recruiting world. Meanwhile, Lewis, the No. 2 recruit, chose Colorado just days after decommitting from USC. Talk about drama!
These moves have set the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable signing period. With so much talent on the table, the stakes couldn’t be higher for college programs looking to secure their future stars.
Georgia Leads the Pack
As of now, Georgia holds the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s recruiting rankings, boasting an impressive 16 ESPN 300 commitments. But don’t get too comfortable, Bulldogs fans—the top spot has been a revolving door this cycle, and there’s still plenty of time for other programs to make a push. Most schools will lock in the majority of their classes this week, but recruiting is far from over. If a prospect doesn’t sign by Friday, they’ll have to wait until the next signing day on February 5, 2025.
What to Watch For
With so much happening, it can be hard to keep track of all the action. Here are some key storylines to follow:
- Flips Galore: Will we see more high-profile flips like Underwood’s and Lewis’s? Keep an eye on the rumor mill for last-minute surprises.
- Class Rankings Movement: Georgia may be on top now, but can they hold off challengers like Alabama, Michigan, and Ohio State?
- Unsigned Prospects: Some big names are still weighing their options. Who will make a splash before the week is over?

Programs will continue to scout, evaluate, and recruit talent right up until the next signing period. For fans, that means the excitement doesn’t stop here. Whether it’s tracking the next big flip, analyzing class rankings, or debating which program has the best recruiting strategy, there’s always something to talk about.
