ROCKFORD, Mich. - Rockford High School kicker Quinn Nordin had a special guest at school Friday morning

University of Michigan Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh visited the top kicking prospect in the nation according to scouts.  Harbaugh is trying to get Nordin to come to Michigan instead of Penn State.  Nordin has verbally committed to be a Nittany Lion, but prospects can still be "flipped."

Harbaugh had earlier told Nordin in a phone call that he'd be at his house at 12:01am, the first minute that coaches are allowed contact with recruits.

The Corner Bar invited Harbaugh to lunch today and anyone wearing Michigan attire gets a free hotdog.

Rockford HS Athletic Director Tim Erickson met with Harbaugh this morning as well.  We are told that Harbaugh was at the school for about an hour.

Nordin tweeted out a photo of him and Harbaugh in a vehicle with the comment: "On our way to A2"

Nordin's neighbors were prepared for Harbaugh's visit to Rockford.  Harbaugh tweeted out that he respected the preparation.
