Live Tracker: Early National Signing Day 2025

Before conference championships are played and the College Football Playoff field is finalized, it's time for the biggest three-day periods of the college football season.

This year's early signing period, an opportunity for coaches around the country to cash in on relationships they've been building on the recruiting trail, has been moved up three weeks from past years.

"The biggest reason we’re doing this is to clear up the football recruiting calendar so the signing period and the transfer portal don’t overlap. The feedback we’ve received from all coaches is that December is a mess," Big Sky commissioner and chair of the National Letter of Intent subcommittee of the Collegiate Commissioners Association Tom Wistrcill told The Athletic back in February. "Especially with the expansion of the CFP coming next year, that just creates more chaos in December. This should help."

Another difference beginning this year is that recruits no long need to sign a Letter of Intent. Instead, athletes will agree to a financial aid agreement with schools. As was the case with NLI, once an athlete signs that financial aid agreement, other schools will no longer be allowed to communicate with them.

This tracker will be updated throughout the early signing period which runs from Dec. 4 to Dec. 6.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana head football coach Curt Cignetti announced the signing of 21 student-athletes for the 2025 season on Wednesday (Dec. 4) during the first day of the early signing period. The 21 newcomers each signed their Big Ten Athletics Scholarship Agreement and 14 will enroll early for the spring semester.

IU signed nine players on offense and 12 on defense. Indiana’s defense added five defensive linemen, five defensive backs and two linebackers, while the Hoosier offense on boarded three offensive linemen, three wide receivers, two tight ends and one running back.

The signees will arrive in Bloomington from 12 different states with Indiana and Ohio each producing four signees. Illinois, Florida, and Tennessee had two apiece, while Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin saw one signee each.
