Jim Harbaugh is starting to pick up some momentum on the recruiting trail, and he's now making a run at Daishon Neal, a 6'7 3-Star DE currently committed to Nebraska.
Neal is an Omaha native, but Harbaugh already has him very interested in the Wolverines. From Neal's personal Twitter account:
Michigan we'll be at school tomorrow. For an in-home visit.

Neal is a 6'7, 250-pound strong-side defensive end who committed to Nebraska in April 2014. A lot has changed since then, though - Neal's primary recruiter at Nebraska (Barney Cotton) is now OC/Tight Ends coach at UNLV, and Michigan's future certainly looks brighter with Harbaugh at the reins. While Neal could still stick with the Huskers, it sounds like a flip to the Wolverines is a very real possibility.
Harbaugh landed his first recruit on Saturday - Florida DE Reuben Jones - and only had to wait a few hours before landing his second. QB Zach Gentry flipped from Texas to Michigan during his official visit, and Harbaugh added two-star Ohio OT Nolan Ulizio on Sunday. Michigan's 2015 class now stands at nine, but we'd expect to see several more names commit in the days leading up to National Signing Day on February 4.
