MaxPreps is your source for National Signing Day information this season, nationwide and in New York.

The activity and suspense from the day has just about wrapped up and New York can lay claim to 21 recruits who signed National Letters of Intent. There are also three more who are still committed but have not signed.

Visit our New York National Signing Day page to see the names, rankings and high schools of all the New York players who signed or did not sign Wednesday. You can sort by division as well, breaking things down to even smaller levels.

Here are some fun facts from what went down on National Signing Day in New York:

- 21 players signed NLIs and two more made commitments to Army and one to Navy, which do not allow players to sign on National Signing Day.



- In-state school Syracuse tied with Rutgers and Boston College with three New York players signed. UMass was the only other school to sign more than one, with two.

- Poly Prep Country Day had two players sign, with 5-star tackle Isaiah Wilson signing with Georgia and 2-star defensive end/tight end Ifeanyi Maijeh going to Temple.

- Two Cardinal Hayes players are also moving on, though one did not sign. Christian Anderson is a 3-star quarterback who is committed to Army, while teammate Shameen Jones (wide receiver and safety) signed with Rutgers.
