At this point in time, Michigan appears to be the favorite to land the services of the 6-foot, 220-pound linebacker. 247Sports "Crystal Ball" projections are 100 percent in favor of the Wolverines and Jim Harbaugh's recruiting prowess is well documented.

However, the other finalists are dangerous in their own right, including Oklahoma, Auburn, Maryland and reigning Big Ten champion Penn State. At this stage, Anthony is ranked five-stars by Rivals.com, and is their No. 1 inside linebacker for this recruiting class.

Jim Harbaugh has been an impressive closer on the recruiting trail since arriving back in Ann Arbor and, with that in mind, it would be a bit of a stunner if the Wolverines did not secure Jordan Anthony's commitment. In the same breath, wild things happen on the recruiting trail all the time and five programs will be holding their breath on Thursday evening.
