One young fan had the moment of a lifetime after Michigan made the trek to Arizona.

After arriving for the Fiesta Bowl, Michigan took part in one of many press conferences throughout the week. However, this press conference provided an awesome moment for everyone involved.

Donovan Edwards, Michigan’s star running back, spotted a young fan of head coach Jim Harbaugh in the crowd. It was the young fan’s shirt that caught Edwards’ eye and led to an awesome interaction.

“My boy, in the ‘Harbaugh is my hero’ shirt, you got a question?” Edwards asked.

“Coach Harbaugh, You’re my hero,” said Michigan fan Levi.

WXYZ Detroit Sports Director Brad Galli shared the clip and also reports young Levi had the chance to meet Harbaugh and get a picture with the Wolverines on hand.

It’s hard to debate Harbaugh’s hero status after the past couple of seasons. We’ll see if Harbaugh is able to reward Levi — and Michigan fans everywhere — with a win and trip to the national championship.
