Have a day, Quinn Nordin.

Nordin, Michigan football's senior kicker who drew national attention when Harbaugh slept over at his house during the recruiting process, nailed a 57-yard kick in the Citrus Bowl on Wednesday, tying the program record and giving the Wolverines a 16-14 halftime lead over Alabama.

Nordin has weathered roller-coaster career at Michigan after being recruited as the top kicker in the 2016 class, according to 247Sports.

He was periodically benched in favor of Jake Moody over the past two seasons, but entering Wednesday he was 7-for-10 field goals in 2019.
