S.D. Lewis, Mo- College football coaches, fans, high school footballers and their families welcome a day if not months, not a year. December 16 marks the initial signing period for high school senior footballers to sign letters to play college football.
Fax machines — yes they still are – murmur all day as colleges receive those letters. Schools can officially comment on their 2021 recruitment class members. We expect to hear from Missouri head football coach Eli Trinkwitz on Wednesday afternoon.
The initial signing period ends on Friday. The regular signing period begins on February 3, 2021.
