CSU Football 2026 National Signing Day Tracker

National Signing Day is here for high school recruits in the 2026 cycle and it’s an exciting time in Ram Country. Less than 48 hours after Jim Mora was introduced as the head coach, the CSU Football program is signing its first players under the new regime.

It’s the beginning of a new era in Fort Collins — one led by a man with legitimate pedigree and a track record of success in both the professional and collegiate ranks. And while the last decade has largely been underwhelming for the program, there’s a feeling of hope and optimism right now, like the Rams finally landed the right guy for the job.

There will still be transfer additions to the team in January. Unlike the past couple of seasons, the high school and transfer signing periods are now separate, which actually makes the day feel a little closer to what it used to be. But with that in mind, here’s some information on the first signing class of the Mora era.
