2013 U.P. Football National Signing Day list

MARQUETTE — After a lean 2012 for Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the region has made a bit of a comeback in 2013 with at least 12 U.P. football players signing National Letters of Intent on National Signing Day as of 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

Some schools have not released their list of recruits yet. I'll update the list if I find any names. You of course can email names of players who sign NLIs to play NCAA Division I or II football for the fall of 2013 to mwellens@miningjournal.net. NCAA Division III schools do not sign student athletes to NLIs.
