Last year’s early signing day saw Lane Kiffin and his brand new staff scramble and make the most out of a week’s worth of recruiting. They solidified a few commitments and grabbed a few surprises this time last year.
A year later, there was no drama and the Rebels signed 21 prospects, putting them 19th nationally. Kiffin’s first official full class currently holds an average star rating of 3.3, good enough for seventh in the Southeastern Conference. In a year that was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, that is about as good as it gets. No official visits and no face-to-face contact with recruits and the staff still managed to sign seven four-stars, four on defense.
