National Signing Day is home to many creative college announcements for some of the nation’s top football players, but it is also the day in which SEC recruits can pull off some of the biggest recruiting surprises of the year.

With top prospects flooding to the SEC, many of the conference’s schools recruit the same players which leads to several flips on college football’s biggest recruiting day of the year.

Here are some of the most infamous NSD switches in recent memory from SEC recruits.

Warning: Auburn fans may want to turn away

Reuben Foster, LB (2013)

The five-star linebacker toyed with the heartstrings of heated rivals Alabama and Auburn. In what was one of the more intriguing recruiting sags in recent memory, Foster originally committed to Alabama. However, the nation’s No. 1 linebacker transferred to Auburn High School and eventually switched his commitment to the Tigers.

He loved the Tigers so much that he got an Auburn tattoo. You would think that would seal the deal right?

Well, Foster had one more surprise in store for fans when he de-committed from Auburn after the dismissal of Auburn assistant coach Trooper Taylor. That led to one final commitment to Alabama nearly 24 hours prior to National Signing Day as the Crimson Tide secured his recruitment.

To make matters worse for Auburn fans, he showed up to his letter of intent signing in a Nick Saban costume.

Brent Calloway, LB (2011)

The No. 1 player in the state of Alabama in 2011 was linebacker Brent Calloway. He was another double flip that went wrong for Auburn, too.

He originally committed to Alabama in June 2010, but hours before the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January, Calloway announced his de-commitment from the Crimson Tide and promptly committed to Auburn during his in-game announcement.

Calloway’s adoptive father publicly criticized him for switching his commitment, but the ties to Auburn didn’t last long for the five-star standout. He switched back to Alabama on National Signing Day, flipping once again from Auburn.

In the end, Calloway wasn’t able to stay out of trouble and is currently competing at the JUCO level.

Dante Fowler, DE (2012)

Will Muschamp didn’t have enough success at Florida to stick around long-term, but the former head coach’s biggest recruiting victory was undoubtedly flipping five-star defensive end Dante Fowler.

Fowler, who had been committed to FSU for more than a year, was being hotly pursued by Muschamp, who desperately wanted Fowler to come lead his defense at Florida. FSU, on the other hand, had already secured a number of highly-ranked defensive line commits and Fowler had growing concern about playing time.

He remained firm in his commitment to FSU until NSD when he announced on a local news station he would be flipping from the Seminoles to the Gators. Fowler went on to a standout career with Florida and he just declared his intentions to enter the NFL Draft and he’s projected as a first-round pick.

Cyrus Kouandjio, OT (2011)

Cyrus Kouandjio was the nation’s top offensive tackle in 2011, so it’s no surprise that Alabama and Auburn were pursuing him.

The two in-state rivals were both contending for his services and they were his finalists as National Signing Day arrived. On national television, Kouandjiio committed to Auburn, the defending national champions.

However, as the hours passed following his announcement, Auburn never received his signed letter of intent. Speculation grew that Kouandjio was considering a flip from Auburn and eventually he did change his mind. Three days later, Kouandjio committed to Alabama and faxed in his LOI to the Crimson Tide, breaking the hearts of every Auburn fan.
