National Signing Day in College football

Wednesday is National Signing Day in college football. We thought we’d give you a sneak peak at where the best prospects in the country are likely to land. To no one’s surprise, the SEC has dominated national recruiting again. Alabama, which has at least eight players with Top 75 credentials, should have the top class in the country, ahead of Texas A & M, Florida State, LSU, Tennessee and Ohio State. Running back Leonard Fournette of New Orleans, who has committed to LSU, has the potential to be the next Adrian Peterson..
