The Early Signing Period begins on Wednesday, December 21, 2022 and will offer prospective student-athletes in the 2023 class of recruits a three-day window to sign their National Memoranda of Understanding. The binding agreement will spell out every commitment and result in their status in the 247Sports database becoming a signatory.
Virginia Tech’s Class of 2023 Recruitment Status will be completed based on the recruits who have formally penned. In a year when the NCAA transfer portal and coaching carousel have reached a peak of uncertainty, Early Signing Day will bring twists and turns of epic proportions. Stay tuned to VTScoop for all the hysteria of Part One of Signing Day.
If players do not sign by Friday night, their next opportunity to enter into a binding agreement with the program of their choice is on the first Wednesday in February – Wednesday, February 1, 2023 – the traditional National Signing Day.
Virginia Tech is expected to sign the majority of its 2023 recruit class Wednesday morning.
Stay tuned below as we update signatures coming in for Virginia Tech throughout the day.
