Early signing period announcement guide

The early signing period typically is filled with drama and this year is shaping up to be more of the same.

Several committed players could flip, while a handful of top uncommitted players are scheduled to announce on Wednesday. Chaminade-Madonna wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, Mainland defensive lineman/edge LJ McCray and Largo linebacker Adarius Hayes are committed players who are being heavily pursued by other schools.

Then there’s always the unexpected surprise. (Think Travis Hunter flipping from Florida State to Jackson State in 2021 or Cormani McClain’s mom announcing the former Lakeland star would not be signing with Miami on the first day of the early signing period last year.)

Here’s a rundown of some of the key in-state signings on Wednesday.

Norland CB Larry Tarver Jr.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Tarver, who played a key role for the Vikings Class 2M state runner-up team, committed to Maryland in June. Nebraska has been pushing hard and had Tarver in for an official visit in late October.

9:30 a.m.

Jones QB Trever Jackson

Jones High School senior quarterback Trever Jackson

Jackson, an Elite 11 finalist, decommitted from Ole Miss in October. He visited Virginia earlier this month; Tulsa and UNLV have offered since Jackson decommitted. It’s possible Jackson waits until later to sign.

10 a.m.

Mainland DL/EDGE LJ McCray

Mainland’s Lj McCray (11) sacks Satellite quarterback Ethan Rafaele (9) on Friday, November 10th, 2023 at Daytona Stadium.

The 6-foot-6, 270-pound McCray committed to Florida in October, but Florida State and Auburn remain in the picture. McCray has talked about embracing the idea of helping to rebuild the Gators, so it appears unlikely that he flips.
