Signing day is Wednesday, so this will probably be the last update I'll have on potential commitments. We've already seen a kid flip a commit from Maryland to Liberty, so that's why it's such a dicey proposition to report commits as signees until that letter actually hits the fax machine Wednesday morning. I'll post names on Twitter (@ChrisLangLNA) Wednesday as they come in.
UPDATE 1/31, 11 a.m.
From what I've been able to put together from Rivals.com and other recruiting sources, Liberty has these firm commitments right now:
* LB Dallas Griffiths (6-2, 225) -- Tallahassee, Fla./North Florida Christian -- per Griffiths' Twitter. Griffiths originally committed to Maryland. Also had offers from Georgia Tech, South Florida, UCF and Southern Miss. Brother Chase plays linebacker for the Flames.
* TE Canon Smith (6-4, 240) -- Birmingham, Ala./Briarwood Christian -- per Birmingham News
* QB Javan Shashaty (6-1, 165) -- Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Calvary Christian -- per Rivals.com -- perhaps a preferred walk-on
* K John Lunsford (6-0, 166) -- Fort Myers, Fla./Evangelical -- pre Rivals.com ... the same school that produced LU basketball player Joel Vander Pol.
* RB D.J. Abnar (5-8, 170) -- Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln -- as reported by the Tallahassee Democrat
