Early signing day for football saw Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota add talent they hope will bolster their Big Ten Conference contention.

Nebraska’s first full signing class under second-year coach Scott Frost was highlighted by a group of versatile and speedy prospects to fit the Cornhuskers’ spread offense. Wandale Robinson, a four-star prospect out of Kentucky, was maybe the biggest prize in the class of 25 signed by the Frost as the early signing period began.

Iowa has signed 20 players to national letters of intent, a group headlined by in-state linemen Ezra Miller of Holstein and Tyler Endres of Norwalk. Miller and Endres were two of Iowa’s four-star signees, joining linebacker Justin Jacobs of Ohio.

Minnesota has assembled a 2019 recruiting class that’s ranked 33rd in the FBS and eighth in the Big Ten. The NCAA’s early signing period opened with 23 commitments to the Gophers.
