Another national signing day has come and gone in college football (though some players will be announcing where they're going in the upcoming days), but we were locked in on how schools were welcoming their newest players.
From train tickets to Backyard Football and iconic rap albums, here are the best welcome tweets from schools:
At Ole Miss, you don't want to miss out on hopping on board the Lane Train.
We heard you like lethal slot receivers...@jjhenry25 | #ComeToTheSip pic.twitter.com/XGfJIPCKHQ

Nevada got creative and paid respects to one of the things the state is known for, with these slot machine videos.

But one of the best themes of the day was Syracuse, which recreated well-known rap album covers.
Count it up, count it. @Justin_lamson10 is going to rack up yards in the 'Cuse offense.

Can't thank this class enough for the FAITH they have in the 'Ohana. Touring campus through Zoom, not having their official visits, not being able to meet us in person. They joined us through faith - and I have faith in them.
