Just a day after picking up commitment No. 13, the Michigan football program received commitment No. 14 for the class of 2012 when Anthony Standifer, a native of Crete, Illinois, gave his verbal to the Wolverines.
Standifer, like the two previous recruits to commit to Michigan (Allen Gant and Terry Richardson), is a defensive back. Specifically, Standifer is a cornerback, and he has three stars on Scout and 24/7 Sports. Rivals and ESPN have not yet evaluated him.
Standifer's offer list includes Michigan, Cincinnati, Iowa, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Syracuse and a host of MAC and other non-BCS schools, according to Rivals. Scout also lists offers from Arizona, Boise State, Indiana, Kansas, Northwestern and Purdue.
