National Signing Day has arrived for area football players
National Signing Day 2017 is here, and we’ll have updates and stories throughout the day on area high school athletes deciding on their college futures.
Schools and their ceremony times and dates are listed, with a chosen school. If the player has officially signed, it is noted as such. Links to stories about specific players will be added as the day progresses.
Athletes from other sports will be making their choices as well, and we’ll have those at this link.
