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.

Benker is a two-star wide receiver according to Scout.com while Riggins is a three-star cornerback. Riggins is ranked No. 3 at his position in Ohio and No. 10 in the Midwest.

Per the Indianapolis Star, Higgins also had offers from Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, West Virginia and Cincinnati.

Riggins is the third member of the 2016 Indiana class from southwest Ohio, joining Cincinnati Moeller defensive tackle Ryan Smith and Cincinnati Elder quarterback Peyton Ramsey.
