Report: Jim Harbaugh is having a sleepover with the No. 1 kicker recruit in the country
Jim Harbaugh is 52 years old. He’s married. He has six children.
The Michigan football coach isn’t too old to have a sleepover, though.
According to Scout.com, Harbaugh is planning on sleeping over at the home of Quinn Nordin, the No. 1 kicker in the 2016 class. Nordin, a Rockford, Mich. native, is committed to Penn State, but the Wolverines are trying to flip him.

From the story:
Harbaugh even told Nordin that all he needs is a “6-foot-3 inch piece of carpet” to sleep on in Nordin’s room.
This isn’t the first time Harbaugh will be using the camp-in as a recruiting tactic. It was reportedly a common strategy when the former San Francisco 49ers’ coach was at Stanford, too.
What movie will Harbaugh and Nordin be watching? One of the "Star Wars" family, perhaps? Of course, it’ll have to be one from the first trilogy, as Harbaugh is a major Darth Vader fan.
Maybe Nordin and Harbaugh can have some Gatorade cereal for breakfast the next day, too.
Nordin, by the way, is the same recruit who made this commitment video:
Nordin is reportedly also considering Baylor, along with Penn State and Michigan. He’ll announce his decision on National Signing Day, Wednesday, Feb. 3.
