National Signing Day: Where Triangle high school football players will play in college

High school football players have begun to sign with colleges.

The early signing period began Wednesday and lasts until Friday. The NCAA is currently in a recruiting dead period, which began in March and has kept recruits off campuses, but recruiting still continues via video conference calls and other methods.

This is the fourth year there has been an early signing period for football. The regular signing day will be Feb. 3.

Here is where Triangle players are going:

▪ Diego Pounds, Millbrook football, signed with North Carolina

▪ Bryce Steele, Millbrook football, signed with Boston College

▪ Ethan Harris, Rolesville football, signed with Air Force
