College Football Early Signing Period: Today, tomorrow and Friday is the early signing period for those who wish to make their college commitment official.

New University of Wyoming football coach Jay Sawvel says when the word got out that he was going to take over the coaching duties he reached to all of those who have verbally committed so far.

Sometimes when a team has a head coaching change, a number of recruits might decommit, but Sawvel says so far that has not happened.

Since he was the defensive coordinator this year, he got to meet and get to know defensive recruits.

Now that he’s the head man, he’s got to get acquainted with those on the other side of the ball.
