With National Signing Day, prospective college football athletes are set to make their decision on which school they’ll be attending officially known. They’ll sign their National Letters of Intent and thus pledge their allegiance once and for all to the schools that they chose through the recruiting process.
Most of the time, those verbal commitments are held true and athletes sign with the school they verbally pledged to all along. All too often, however, a verbal commitment isn’t upheld and a late push is made, forcing athletes to decommit and sign elsewhere. And we’ve got all of those instances below.

Listed below are those student-athletes who were verbally committed to a different school than the school they ultimately signed their NLI with. Headlined by a handful of late decommitments, the Early Signing Day period saw its fair share of decommitments all the same.
