National Signing Day on Wednesday was a day to celebrate for BYU Football. The Cougars signed 21 new players and recognized mid season signees.
Outside of the party, signing day for the cougars was buzzing on social media. Retweets of pictures of a 6-foot seven 410 pound recruit and personalized rap songs from the coaching staff sent Twitter into a frenzy.
