Top Recruiting Classes after National Signing Day

National Signing Day has come and gone. See which teams put themselves in prime position for a strong 2017 season.

National Signing Day was a good day for top schools across the nation. Some teams got a lot better while others missed out on some key recruits. The final recruiting rankings reflect a lot of this.

Defensive tackle Marvin Wilson made his final decision, signing with the Florida State Seminoles. Wilson gives them a strong defensive presence in the middle, something they desperately needed last season.

Perhaps the surprise team of National Signing Day was the USC Trojans. Head coach Clay Helton earned the pledges of some top-notch blue chip recruits, making them a team to watch in 2017. The Trojans got the commitments of six players ranked in the top 100 of the 2017 recruiting class, according to 247 Sports. The additions of linebacker Levi Jones and defensive tackle Jay Tufele give the Trojans a strong defensive presence to contend with the Washington Huskies next season.

The Alabama Crimson Tide had an interesting day as well. They got defensive end Jarez Parks, a four-star recruit, to gray shirt instead choosing to attend another school. It speaks volumes to the ability of Nick Saban and his coaching staff to recruit at a top notch rate. After all, it explains why they have the best recruiting class since 2010.

National Signing Day was an action-packed day to say the least. Here are the top 10 recruiting classes going forward.
