The first ever early signing period has finally arrived for USF football.
Today through Friday, a good chunk of #Stampede18 verbal commits are anticipated to sign their letters of intent and make their Green and Gold collegiate aspirations official.

We'll consistently keep updating this post throughout the day as the signings roll in.
7:57 A.M.- Three-star Okeechobee ATH Jajuan Cherry becomes the first official signee for USF.
8:05 A.M.- Three-star Port St. Lucie strongside defensive end Rashawn Yates is on the board.
