College football's National Signing Day is here, and a few things have changed since the completion of the early signing period on Dec. 20.
That includes updated class team ratings, but mostly has to do with several updates to the 2020 recruit rankings. Six players who were listed as five-star recruits ahead of the early signing period fell to four-star classifications; 10 moved into the five-star category ahead of National Signing Day 2020.
