Signing day shenanigans
— Canes Football (@CanesFootball) February 6, 2019
Miami got things started early by announcing the signing of Louis Hedley, a punter from Australia. According to the Miami Herald, Hedley spent eight years working in the Australian desert in construction before being encouraged to try out American football due to his punting prowess in Aussie rules football. He arrived at City College of San Francisco three days before the 2017 season, and only knew when to punt because he bought the Madden video game and watched when punters took the field.

So proud of you!
You've worked SO HARD for this opportunity. We couldn't be happier with your choice to attend Clemson and to be a part of such an incredible program and more importantly such a special culture! https://t.co/geSJcskpio
Speaking of sons with famous last names, former Ohio State quarterback and current College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's twin sons, Jake and Tye, announced Wednesday they will attend Clemson as preferred walk-ons.
Dabo Swinney said he was excited to have the brothers, a corner and a wide receiver, in the fold, but he doesn't expect preferential treatment from their dad on Saturday mornings.
"I don't think it works that way," Swinney said in his post-signing day news conference.
On his first signing day as head coach at Georgia Tech, Geoff Collins went to Waffle House. On his second signing day, Waffle House came to him.
