Dante Blackmon, a cornerback from Eastside High School in Covington, Ga., committed to IU Thursday evening.
He is the 18th overal recruit for the 2012 recruiting class and third defensive back for the class. However, the other two, Sebastian Smith and Dawson Fletcher, both project to safety in college while Blackmon is a cornerback.
Listed at 5-foot-11 and 183 pounds, Blackmon chose IU over offers from Buffalo and Appalachian State.
The Hoosiers have also offered Blackmon's teammate, defensive end Sheldon Rankins, but appear unlikely to land his commitment.
