It’s almost that time again; National Signing Day is right around the corner. On the first Wednesday of February, high school seniors are officially eligible to sign a binding National Letter of Intent for college football with any school that is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
All around the country, cameras will be rolling as high school stars announce their decisions. Some will be a surprise; some will simply be confirming verbal commitments that have been made prior. While the day has become a spectacle for many, perhaps extra eyes will be aimed at a few particular individuals. Below is a brief list of young men who are the latest in a pipeline of gridiron greatness. Each one of these players share a single common thread: their fathers suited up and played on Sundays, playing football at the highest level in the National Football League.
Some have already made their decision, while some are still in the air. Stay In the Game to find out their final decisions!
