With Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh set to interview with the Vikings on the same day as National Signing Day, one Michigan enrollee reportedly spoke with Harbaugh about the coach’s NFL prospects on Monday.
Will Johnson, a five-star defensive back from Grosse Pointe, Mich., has already enrolled at Michigan and begun winter conditioning. However, rumors are swirling about Harbaugh's future with the program.
Johnson's father, Dion, is a former defensive back at Michigan. He said Harbaugh told his son that the coach is leaning toward a return to the NFL if the right challenge arose.
“He told William he was definitely looking, and if an opportunity came up, he was probably going to take it,” Deon Johnson told The Detroit News.
