National Signing Day 2021: College football recruiting rankings, key commitments

CBS Sports was with you all afternoon through the traditional National Signing Day for the top commitments

High school prospects locked up scholarships and formally signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday as the traditional National Signing Day took place for the Class of 2021. Though most of the class signed with college football programs during the early signing period in December, there were a number of top-tier players that held off on choosing where they will spend the next few years of their careers.

Alabama locked up the top-rated recruiting class of all time, while some of the nation's other top programs made additional waves Wednesday as they attempted to boost their status in the 247Sports Composite team rankings.

CBS Sports and 247Sports were here all day to provide updates on the biggest names who signed (see below for individual stories). Additionally, you can scan through our live blog for all the details from our group of recruiting and college football experts on a busy signing day that you may have missed.
