Why No. 1 recruit, LSU commit Lamar Brown isn't signing yet (1:52)

DT Lamar Brown, the No. 1 overall ESPN 300 recruit, explains his decision to not sign yet after verbally committing to LSU earlier this year. (1:52)

College football's early signing period started Wednesday and runs until Friday. Class of 2026 high school recruits who signed have locked into the college of their choice for at least the next year.

The drama started early when Vanderbilt flipped five-star QB Jared Curtis from Georgia on Tuesday night. Defensive end Jordan Carter (No. 57 overall) was the highest-ranked uncommitted recruit. He chose Tennessee over Auburn and Georgia Tech on Wednesday. Virginia Tech was a big mover of the day, adding 11 players who were formerly in James Franklin's class at Penn State. USC added to its top-ranked class by flipping Kayden Dixon-Wyatt from Ohio State. Texas has the most five-star signings of any team, headlined by QB Dia Bell.

If a prospect doesn't sign a national letter of intent by Friday, the next national signing day for this cycle begins Feb. 4.

We tracked all the news, analysis and more throughout Wednesday.
