College football recruiting: 2023 National Signing Day schedule, top players to watch, predictions, picks

247Sports

National Signing Day takes center stage Wednesday as the early signing period opens for the 2024 college football recruiting cycle. Some of the top prospects across the country are preparing to make their final decisions as they have their sights set on developing into the next generation of superstars in the sport. 

While National Signing Day has long been synonymous with drama, the advent of the transfer portal has taken much of that away as players lock up their commitments earlier and earlier. In the 2024 class, every five-star recruit has already committed to a program. One top-50 player and just three total prospects within the top 100 remain uncommitted heading into Wednesday. Still, anything can happen in the final stretch — Travis Hunter ring a bell? — so nothing is official until these top prospects put pen to paper. 

So when will these recruits finalize their decisions on National Signing Day? Below is a look at the top prospects to watch on Wednesday along with projected landing spots according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions.
