With the first early signing period for Division I college football on the horizon, Montana State will host six recruits on its Bozeman campus this weekend.
The NCAA added a new early signing period that begins on December 20. The three-day period comes a few months before the typical National Signing Day the first Wednesday in February every season.
The new early signing period is something every college program is learning how to navigate. MSU hopes to get as many recruits signed during the early period in an effort to concentrate on filling in the holes in its class with more specificity.
