February 1st is the next USC Signing Day, as the 2017 football stars of tomorrow near decision time. Here’s a look at the day’s schedule of events.

USC Signing Day 2017 kicks off in the early hours on Wednesday, February 1st, with the Trojans in the mix for several high-profile, including two five-stars. Four-star linebacker target Levi Jones will be making the first on-air announcement during the 5:00 a.m. PT hour of ESPN’s Signing Day coverage.

Here’s all you need to know to plan your day around the announcements for USC Signing Day 2017, along with where to watch them:

National Signing Day (2/1)

  • 5:55 a.m. PT – 4-star LB Levi Jones (ESPNU): USC’s only linebacker left on the board will decide between the Trojans and their Florida or Florida State. FSU got the last visit for the Austin native over the weekend, while UCLA and hometown Texas were eliminated on Sunday. Live Stream>>
  • 7:00 a.m. PT – 5-star DT Aubrey Solomon (ESPNU): The nation’s No. 2 defensive tackle out of Leesburg, Ga. is down to USC, Michigan, Alabama and Georgia. It’s believed to be a three-horse race between the Trojans, Tide and his original commitment, Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines. Live Stream>>
  • 9:00 a.m. PT – 4-star DT Jay Tufele: Perhaps the Trojans’ No. 1 target, Utah’s Tufele ranks as the No. 3 defensive tackle in the nation and will choose between in-state rivals Utah and BYU, along with Michigan, Ohio State and USC. The Utes got his final visit, while he was in Los Angeles the previous weekend alongside Washington flip Marlon Tuipulotu.
