Early National Signing Day 2021: Top Uncommitted Football Recruits to Watch

With so many coaching changes taking place at college football programs around the country in recent weeks, some high school recruits have modified their plans for the future.

Soon, some of the top undecided recruits in the 2022 class will choose a school. The early signing period begins Wednesday and runs through Friday, a three-day window in which high school football players can send in their national letters of intent to a college program.

In recent years, the early signing period has become a busier time than the traditional national signing day in early February. It gives these recruits a chance to lock in their college commitments and potentially enroll early at their new schools.

As this year's early signing period approaches, here's a look at some of the top undecided recruits who are expected to decide on a school during the upcoming week.

Since Jan. 23, 5-star cornerback Domani Jackson from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif., was committed to USC. However, after Clay Helton was fired and the team struggled under interim head coach Donte Williams, Jackson decided to decommit on Nov. 14.

Jackson could still end up playing for the Trojans, though, as he's considering only two schools: USC and Alabama. 

The No. 7 overall recruit and the No. 2 cornerback in the 247Sports Composite rankings, Jackson has recently shared praise for new USC head coach Lincoln Riley, stating that it was "impressive" how Riley has been in frequent communication with him, per Greg Biggins of 247Sports.com. So the Trojans are firmly in the running for the in-state recruit, despite his decommitment less than a month ago.

Jackson is expected to choose between USC and Alabama on Wednesday, giving one of those programs a big boost to its 2022 class, as he's one of the top recruits in the country.

Last week, Kamari Wilson announced that he'd be committing on the first day of the early signing period and would be choosing from a group of four schools: Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M. He also took an official visit to Florida this weekend, so perhaps the Gators are in the running too.

Florida fired Dan Mullen last month and has since hired Billy Napier to be its new head coach, so it could get some boosts to its 2022 recruiting class in the near future. On Friday, Wilson tweeted that he had a "great time" while meeting with the Gators.

Georgia has been the apparent favorite to land Wilson, as the 247Sports Crystal Ball has eight experts all predicting the 5-star safety to sign with the Bulldogs. But perhaps that could change depending on how Wilson's visit at Florida went.

Wilson is the No. 28 overall recruit and No. 2 safety in the 2022 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. So whichever program lands him will be getting one of the best high school defensive backs in the country.

On Friday, Daylen Everette announced that he was decommitting from Clemson. He had been committed to the Tigers since July 17, but now there's a good chance he'll end up playing at a different school to begin his college career in 2022.

"Honestly I was having a lot of uncertainty about Clemson and kind of having some second thoughts," Everette said, per Andrew Ivins of 247Sports. "So, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at my options."

According to Ivins, Everette is still planning to send in his NLI during the early signing period, it's just not yet clear where he'll be sending it to. But there seems to be a chance it could be Alabama, which is currently the 247Sports Crystal Ball's leader to land Everette.

Everette is 247Sports' No. 29 overall recruit and the No. 6 cornerback in the 2022 class. Earlier this year, he took visits to Florida State, Georgia and North Carolina, so those could be some of the other schools he's considering.
