McDermott posted a photo of a University of Michigan hat that was sent by Jay Harbaugh, the son of Jim Harbaugh. Jay is the special teams coach of the Wolverines.

The Bulls forward will be following the Michigan football program this season, and let’s hope the Bluejays faithful doesn’t get upset at the all-time Creighton leading scorer.
