National Signing Day in college football brings out all kinds of social media antics from programs around the country trying to stand out. But this year, Rutgers gets to claim the crown for best player commitment announcements thanks to the help of a beloved NFL commentator.
For a second straight year, Rutgers turned to NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson for what they called “Scarlet Zone,” with clips posted on social media after every signing from Hanson announcing and breaking down the news. Hanson made all the announcements from the RedZone studios and was fully in character, breaking down state championship wins, skill sets and more for the Scarlet Knights faithful. He even threw in a “seven hours of commercial-free coverage” for good measure!
Welcome to National Signing Day!
