New Nebraska coach Mike Riley has announced a recruiting class of 20 players on letter-of-intent signing day.

Riley added 11 players to a group of nine that verbally committed to former coach Bo Pelini before Pelini’s firing after the regular season.

Some of the biggest names in the class are cornerbacks recruited out of Colorado by Pelini’s staff. Rivals.com lists Eric Lee of Highlands Ranch as the top overall prospect in Colorado and the 12th-ranked cornerback in the nation. Rivals has Avery Anderson of Colorado Springs ranked No. 25 at cornerback.

Other four-star recruits signing Wednesday were defensive tackle Khalil Smith of Blue Springs, Missouri; offensive lineman Jalin Barnett of Lawton, Oklahoma; and wide receiver Stanley Morgan of New Orleans.
