EXCLUSIVE: Michael Mosley, Rob Morgan and Mira Sorvino have boarded writer/director Glen Owen’s college football feature Signing Day.

The dramatic comedy follows one of the most important days for high school football players seeking football scholarships. The Power Five college football conferences alone reached $3.3 billion in 2022, more than college basketball and baseball combined. In the pic, Walt McFadden, an ambitious football coach, is eager to sign the nation’s top defensive end, Tony Raymond. He travels to a small town in Alabama, determined to make his mark as a rising coach in a place swarming with rival recruiters. In the process, McFadden gets caught up with Tony’s dysfunctional family and is forced to navigate a series of comical misadventures.
