FREE: GBK National Signing Day Central - Early Period (12/21/22)
Today is the day that has been termed “Early Signing Day” and GoBlackKnights.com plans to be front and center throughout this day.
This is a very exciting time for recruits, their family and friends, along with fans as tons of prospects sign early today. However, this is a time when some committed players decide to de-commit for various reasons.
For Army Head Coach Jeff Monken and his staff, only yesterday that Rivals 3-star linebacker Javeon Miller de-committed from his initial verbal pledge to the Black Knights back in August.
Then of course you have coaching changes which can cause ripples in a school's commitment list, and Army West Point is not exempt from that as well.
However, the 2023 Black Knights recruiting class is very solid ...
... As such and from all of the prospects that make up the 2023 recruiting class, there are several pledges that are expected to sign today and this is headquarters, so keep it right here.
**We will continue to update this page as the prospects officially sign**
