Michigan Football: Jim Harbaugh targeting Nebraska TE commit Matt Snyder

The Michigan Wolverines currently have the lowest-ranked class of 2015 commits in the Big Ten, with just six solid commitments to the program's name. However, during Jim Harbaugh's short stint as Michigan head coach, UM has made plenty of in-roads that could pay major dividends on National Signing Day.

One of those in-roads has led Harbaugh to wooing three-star tight end and Nebraska commit Matt Snyder, who is reconsidering his options after receiving an offer from the Wolverines.

"Everybody knows he's been a great coach in college and the NFL, so getting a call just alone to talk to him for 10 minutes was a pretty cool thing," Snyder said to Go Blue Wolverine's Josh Newkirk, via the Detroit News. "Obviously I'm interested in Michigan. It's an exciting thing."

Harbaugh's track record for getting the most out of his tight ends, whether at Stanford or in the NFL, is playing a huge role in Snyder's decision making process.

"He said he's running the same type of offense he ran at Stanford with the tight end," Snyder said. "He talked about the tight ends he sent to the NFL and how he's trying to build up a tight end army again. That's very intriguing and good thing to hear."

Snyder is scheduled to visit Ann Arbor this weekend as part of a HUGE recruiting weekend for the Wolverines.
