Michigan football is recruiting more players than there appears to be remaining scholarships for the 2016 class.

Today may have helped to ease that as Maryland cornerback Sir Patrick Scott announced on Twitter that he has decommitted.

The three-star cornerback from Upper Marlboro, Md., committed to Michigan in August and, though he was in a Big Ten state, was a surprise being outside of U-M's usual recruiting area.

The Wolverines now have 23 commitments, still have three defensive backs in the class and are recruiting a few other high-level targets, including Old Tappan (N.J.) cornerback Jordan Fuller, Los Angeles (Calif.) Loyola cornerback David Long, both Top 100 players and Detroit King's Lavert Hill.
