Early signing day for 2024: WPIAL football players announce Division I commitments
By:
Wednesday, December 20, 2023 | 12:01 AM
Aliquippa’s Cam Lindsey scores against Dallas during the PIAA Class 4A state championship game on Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023, at Cumberland Valley.
High school football recruits used to have to wait until February to sign a national letter of intent, but that changed starting in 2017, when the NCAA added an early signing period for Division I football.
Now, most of the top recruits sign in December.
Here’s a look at senior football players from the WPIAL and City League who signed with Division I programs Wednesday:
