BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — As head coach Mike Sanford welcomes his inaugural signing class, part of #ThePursuit17, on Wednesday, Feb. 1, WKU Football will have live coverage of everything happening surrounding National Signing Day 2017.
From inside the football offices at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium, WKU's various social media accounts will provide live coverage, video and photos of each new Hilltopper as they become official, beginning at 6 a.m. CT.
To help fans stay locked in to each new member of the signing class, WKUSports.com will be transformed into Signing Day Central, providing highlight videos and biographical information on each new signee. Sanford and each of his assistant coaches will also provide a run-down on each new Hilltopper via their Twitter pages throughout the day.
The day culminates in Sanford's first Signing Day press conference at 2 p.m. CT, which will air live and for free on WKUSports.TV.
Signing Day 2017 coverage will include:
• Up-to-the-minute announcements of confirmed National Letters of Intent via @WKUFootball on Twitter
• Biographical information on each signee as well as their high school highlight video on WKUSports.com's Signing Day Central
• Live coverage from the WKU Football offices, including video statements from the Hilltopper coaching staff they welcome the new Hilltoppers via @CoachSanfordWKU and assistant coach handles on Twitter
• Live, free video from head coach Mike Sanford's Signing Day press conference, set for 2 p.m. on WKUSports.tv.
Additionally, Hilltopper Athletic Foundation and Touchdown Club members, or season ticket holders who reserved a space, will celebrate the signing class tomorrow evening in an event in the Jack and Jackie Harbaugh Club which also includes a meet-and-greet and breakdown of each signee by Sanford and his coaching staff.
