The Early Signing Period is obviously a big day for coaches and staffs, but it’s also a chance for schools’ social media and graphics teams to show off. In that department, it looks like Ohio State has won the day.
Your favorite team is almost certainly tweeting out an announcement whenever a new Letter of Intent arrives. Many schools include a highlight package or a preview of the signee’s college jersey/uniform and likely a photo from the player’s official visit. Ohio State got creative and shared announcements in the style of the NCAA 14 video game, missed by college football fans around the country.
Check out this example where OSU shows game footage of a new signee making plays for the Buckeyes in a simulated game against Penn State:

SEC teams need to step it up.
