National Signing Day is on Wednesday, and even though many big-name recruits signed during the early signing period in December, there are still plenty of talented players out there.
ESPN will once again have SEC fans covered when it comes to the signing day festivities, as the Worldwide Leader is planning a few hours of coverage.
Per a release from ESPN, former Georgia and Miami coach Mark Richt will join the crew to break down all the action:
National Signing Day Special Presented by Nissan will begin at noon ET on Feb. 6, with the first two hours on ESPN2 (noon – 2 p.m.), before shifting over to ESPNU for another 90 minutes (2 – 3:30 p.m.). Coverage then reverts back to ESPN2 for an hour long College Football Live (4 – 5 p.m.). The February coverage adds to the 11 hours across ESPN’s networks which aired on December 19 and featured nine total player announcements.
ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill will anchor coverage throughout the day, joined by college football analyst Jim Mora throughout the full duration of studio coverage. Recruiting analyst Tom VanHaaren will join the duo for National Signing Day Special, while college football analyst Trevor Matich will appear on CFB Live. Matt Schick will host both shows. Recently retired University of Miami head Coach Mark Richt will join the team in studio.
How many top remaining recruits will end up in the SEC? We’ll find out in a couple of days.
