National Signing Day: Here are the Gainesville-area football players putting ink to paper

The High School Football season across North Central Florida officially ended a week and a half ago.

For many, that means the work for next season and the title chase that accompanies it will begin shortly, but for a select number of seniors, they will attempt to accomplish that goal at the next level.

That begins when they put pen to paper, and sign their letters of intent this week during Early National Signing Day.

None of these signings should be a surprise, but the occasion still marks a momentous achievement for these athletes, and their schools, coaches, friends and families.
