Fourth of July weekend has become quite the metaphoric holiday for college football prospects to go public with their college choice with a bit of fireworks at their back.
Last year, Ohio State landed the 2021 class's top defensive recruit in J.T. Tuimoloau on July 4 and two years ago it was the decision date for No. 1 overall recruit Caleb Williams to pick Oklahoma over a host of top contenders.
This year it was more of the same, with splashes coming from football commitments at all corners of the sport. Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson, Virginia Tech, LSU, Auburn, Baylor, Oklahoma, Iowa and other schools added talent on July 4.
