The 2013 national signing day is here. Finally.
It's been almost an entire year since Jake Butt, Taco Charlton and Jaron Dukes made their verbal commitments to play for Michigan and Darron Lee verballed to Ohio State, and Butt and Charlton already have enrolled at their new school.
On Feb. 6, dozens of athletes throughout central Ohio will be making their college decisions known -- everywhere from Big Ten schools like those listed above to places like Otterbein and Capital.
I thought it would be a good time to put together a list of athletes that I'm aware of so far who will be signing tomorrow.
There will be others, so don't consider this a comprehensive list but just some food for thought.
If you know of a football player from central Ohio who will be playing at any level collegiately from the 2013 class that is not listed below, please e-mail me at julrey@thisweeknews.com.
