As far back as I can remember, National Signing Day for high school football prospects around the country was always on the first Wednesday of February. It was a big deal full of overhyped drama and excitement.

Then the NCAA added an early signing period in the middle of December. After only two years, that day has now become the new National Signing Day with the one in February reduced to a mundane late signing period.
