Today is National Signing Day for college football — the beginning of a nearly two-month period in which high school seniors can make their college choices public. Wyoming always has its fair share of seniors move on to the college ranks, and this year will be no exception.

Let me know where this year’s senior class of football players is going! Leave a comment here, post it to the w-f Facebook page, or e-mail me at pschmiedt@yahoo.com. I will post the choices here as I receive them, throughout the day and throughout the next couple months. You are also encouraged to let me know about walk-ons and verbal commitments, as well.
