First Coast area recap - Signing Day

The day started at First Coast High School which had five players signing with football bowl subdivision programs and host to the biggest switcharoo the First Coast has seen in quite some time.
Linebacker Reggie Northrup who committed to Miami back in June had everyone confused when he sat down to sign his letter of content. There were only three hats in front of him - Arkansas, Clemson and North Carolina, all colleges that Northrup had taken official visits to.

"After taking five visits, it made it hard, you know, especially by me going to Clemson last weekend, it just made things more confusing," said Northrup, a four-star recruit by Rivals.com. "But, you know, I just sat there and talked to my parents and prayed about it, things have been really confusing these last twenty-four hours and honestly I didn't come up with a decision until I woke up this morning."
Northrup, announced his college choice with swag. Superman style, while sitting there starring at the three hats in front of him. Northrup stood up, unbuttoned his suit jacket, started unbuttoning his his shirt only to peel it back and reveal a garnet and gold seminoles shirt.
Northrup's decision was out and so were the Hurricanes. Northrup had pulled the swicharoo.
"Me and my coach, defensive coordinator, [Coach Fred Culver] came up with the idea of how to announce it, " Northrup said, It was different because I confused everybody."
