Wednesday was the first day of the regular signing period for national letters of intent for Division I and Division II football, and it is the day traditionally known as National Signing Day. An early signing period for Division I and Division II football began Dec. 20, and the bulk of the top players signed. The initial signing day for athletes in other Division I and II sports was Nov. 8, and they may continue to sign through Aug. 1. The final signing date for Division I football is April 1. Division II football players can continue to sign through Aug. 1. The list includes preferred walk-ons and athletes signing with Ivy League schools, which do not offer athletic scholarships.
