Football Early Signing Period: K-State Live Thread

The first ever college football early signing period is now officially open! This period is set to last just three days, but expect most programs to attempt to get their 2018 recruiting classes filled in the next three days.

Most, but likely not K-State. As we told you yesterday, the Wildcats are currently sitting with 16 commitments (as of 8 a.m. CST), and while they should add a couple names to that list today, it’s not expected that all will sign today. Also, do expect to see a few names that are not on the recruiting services pages, as the greyshirts from the 2017 recruiting class should also be signing today.

We’ll keep the list below as current as possible throughout the day as players sign.

This year the official Twitter tag is #EMAW18, if you want to follow along with the live signing update tweets.
