It snuck up on us, but today is National Signing Day! Before we get to the announcements, let’s take a look at where Tech was standing following the Early Signing Period.

At that point, we were just waiting on the three remaining players to sign: WR Janiran Bonner, CB Greg Delaine, and OL Bobby Mooney.
Unfortunately, time was not our friend in this situation. While it is not official yet, Bonner is expected to flip and sign with Nebraska. I also don’t know that we will see Delaine sign with Tech either, leaving just Bobby Mooney from the original three.
In the time since the early period, though, Tech did pick up a new commitment in the form of Julian Lewis, a wide receiver from Ft. Lauderdale.
