College football's late signing period -- or the final signing period, whatever you want to call it -- is quickly approaching. The first Wednesday in February, Feb. 5, is the next day recruits can sign their national letters of intent, marking the end to the 2020 recruiting cycle.
The early signing period took place from Dec. 18 to 20, during which 265 ESPN 300 prospects signed with their respective schools.
That means there aren't many prospects left, but there are still some big names in play. Here is a look at where things stand and who's left leading to the next signing period.
Where the classes stand
Looking at the class rankings, Clemson is currently in the top spot, followed by Georgia, which surged up after a few January announcements from five-stars Darnell Washington and Kelee Ringo. Alabama, Ohio State and LSU round out the top five.
There has been movement in the rankings outside of Georgia, with Texas A&M rising to No. 6 overall. After finishing with the third-best class in 2019, head coach Jimbo Fisher is adding quite a bit of talent to the roster.
Florida, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Arizona State all saw a jump in the rankings over the past few weeks.
Within those rankings, however, Alabama has the No. 3-ranked class, but the most ESPN 300 commitments with 20. Georgia has the next highest with 17, followed by Clemson and Ohio State, each with 16. LSU is holding 14 of the top 300; Florida has 13 and both Texas and Auburn each have 12.
Committed prospects who haven't signed
Some recruits were committed before the early signing period and decided not to sign, and some committed after the early signing period ended in December.
Either way, there are 17 recruits who fall into this category of committed but unsigned prospects. Defensive end Jordan Burch, a five-star prospect ranked No. 5 overall, is the highest-ranked recruit in this category.
Burch committed to South Carolina on the first day of the early signing period, but did not sign his national letter of intent. Burch said he wanted to wait until February to sign with his teammates and reiterated that sentiment in early January at the Under Armour All-America Game.
Georgia has two ESPN 300 commitments who did not sign in five-star offensive tackle Broderick Jones, ranked No. 13 overall, and offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran, the No. 66-ranked prospect.
"It was for my teammates, really, because we have this system where all of us sign in February with each other," Van Pran said at the Under Armour All-America Game. "I'm probably going to take my visits. One of them will be to Georgia on Jan. 24."
Alabama has three ESPN 300 commitments who didn't sign: offensive lineman Damieon George, wide receiver Javon Baker and defensive lineman Jayson Jones, who is the No. 87-ranked recruit overall.
"Alabama was talking about me playing offense and taking a blue shirt, but that doesn't affect my recruitment," Jones said. "There is a possibility I play offensive line, but I feel like I haven't given everyone a fair shot in recruiting. So that's what I'm going to do the next month."
Oklahoma five-star linebacker Reggie Grimes is unsigned, but went into the early signing period saying he would not sign his national letter of intent until February. Wide receivers Xzavier Henderson and Marc Britt, both committed to Florida, also did not sign as well as athlete Jalen Berger, who committed to Wisconsin after the early signing period.
Uncommitted prospects
There are a similar number of recruits who are still uncommitted in the ESPN 300, with 18 recruits currently still deciding on their school of choice.
The highest-ranked recruit yet to make a decision is five-star running back Zachary Evans, which is somewhat deceptive because Evans had already made a decision. Evans signed with Georgia in the early signing period, but did not announce his decision publicly.
Georgia then released Evans from his national letter of intent in January, leaving Evans uncommitted. Texas A&M and LSU are seemingly in the mix to get him once he makes his next choice, but he won't be signing another letter of intent.
Safety Avantae Williams is the next highest-ranked recruit yet to make his decision at No. 44 overall. Williams says he has a top three of Florida, Georgia and Miami and is still taking visits.
Defensive ends Alfred Collins and Demon Clowney are uncommitted as well. Clowney had been committed to LSU, but the two parted ways during the early signing period. Clowney is scheduled to visit Ole Miss and is very high on the Rebels.
Among the uncommitted recruits, there are five running backs (including Evans, Darvon Hubbard and Kevontre Bradford), two quarterbacks (C.J. Dixon and Malik Hornsby) and four defensive ends, including Collins, Clowney and former Texas commit Princely Umanmielen.
Hornsby is the No. 230-ranked recruit and is considering Arkansas, Baylor, Georgia, Maryland and Purdue.
While there aren't a ton of recruits left, there is still room for quite a few schools to add quality prospects.
