Indiana picks up four recruits in three days
Indiana's 2016 recruiting class more than doubled in size over the span of only three days this week as four players have made verbal commitments since June 20.
Khalil Bryant, a three-star safety from Jacksonville (Fla.) First Coast, started the party with a pledge on Saturday. Another Floridian, Philip Benker of Jacksonville Sandalwood, joined the class two days later, and A'Shon Riggins of Hamilton, Ohio, made his choice Monday. In between, Indiana added Kennesaw (Ga.) Mt. Paran Christian three-star defensive end Allen Cater.
