National Signing Day 2021: Updated class, player rankings & top unsigned recruits image

The early signing period and National Signing Day have both come and gone, but there are still a few recruiting storylines to follow with the vast majority of players having signed their National Letter of Intent.

Several players have moved in and out of the updated 247Sports Composite top 100, changing — however slightly — this year's top college football top signing classes. One of those is Alabama, whose status as recruiting national champions this year was elevated to all-time status: The Tide locked in the highest-rated class of all time, edging out Florida's 2010 class by signing two more top-50 players.

And they are still in the hunt for the top available prospect remaining.

Plus, there are still a few players with at least a four-star designation who haven't signed with a team or have been released from their NLI: 27 entering National Signing Day, though that number has been whittled down to just five.

That includes strong-side defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau; the No. 3 player in the class remains the only five-star yet to sign. He has a top five announced, though it's suspected his final two consists of Alabama and Ohio State. Those waiting for him to sign on Wednesday will be disappointed, however: He's not expected to sign until April or May.

With that, here's everything you need to know about National Signing Day 2021, including the top unsigned players and updated recruit and class rankings:
