National signing day is the day college football coaches and fans get hyped (or disappointed) about the future of their respective programs.
It also happens to be the day fans learn the names of a new crop of recruits.
On Sunday, the Illinois State Redbirds landed a recruit who has possibly the greatest name ever: Kobe Buffalomeat.

Initially, some fans may have thought that this came straight out of a Key & Peele sketch:
Nope, it's the real deal—and Jordan Peele approves:

It's a shame colleges aren't allowed to sell jerseys with players' names on the back, because this would be a surefire top seller. It looks like fans will just have to wait a few years and hope the lineman makes it to the NFL.
Of course, Kobe Buffalomeat is hardly the only name that will get fans' attention:
