With Early Signings Complete, 2026 National Signing Day Expected to Be Quiet

Only one top-200 recruit is unsigned in a cycle dominated by December commitments.

Overview

  • Wednesday’s signing period opens with most of the 2026 class already finalized, reflecting the shift to December under the early signing window.
  • Dylan Berymon, a 4-star defensive lineman and the lone unsigned top-200 prospect, plans a Wednesday announcement between Kentucky and Nebraska, with multiple outlets projecting Nebraska.
  • Alabama enters the day with 23 signees and is expected to finalize wide receivers Maurice Mathis Jr. and Aubrey Walker after recently adding athlete Amari Sabb.
  • 247Sports’ composite ranks USC No. 1, Alabama No. 2 and Oregon No. 3 in the 2026 class, with little movement anticipated on Wednesday.
  • Notable unsigned commits include Kentucky cornerback pledge Andre Clarke Jr., who decommitted from Michigan after staff changes, and Notre Dame quarterback commit Teddy Jarrard, a 2027 reclass who is still being courted by Georgia and Indiana.
