College Football National Signing Day: Texas and Georgia lead the way with top recruiting classes
College football’s 2025 recruiting cycle is officially in the books.
National Signing Day was on Wednesday, although most programs across the country wrapped up the majority of their recruiting business during the early signing period, which took place Dec. 4-6.
The biggest news of the day came out of Ann Arbor, where four-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood, ranked as the No. 39 prospect in the 2025 class, signed with Sherrone Moore and the Michigan Wolverines. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound prospect was previously committed to Alabama before he re-opened his recruitment last month and ultimately pledged to join the Wolverines.
