Michigan has successfully flipped four-star running back Karan Higdon (Sarasota, FL/Riverview) from Iowa, he tweeted early on Wednesday morning.

Higdon was offered by the Michigan staff last weekend, and he responded by immediately taking an official visit to Ann Arbor. Despite reports that he solidified his status with Iowa, 247Sports National Analyst Steve Wiltfong confirmed on Tuesday night that he had not done so and that he was a legitimate flip candidate for the staff.

A player who shows good vision at the line of scrimmage and welcomes contact at the second level, Higdon is the type of back who can succeed in Jim Harbaugh's offense at Michigan.

The four-star held offers from Tennessee, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky and Maryland among others. He originally committed to Iowa on October 28th during an official visit last season. He is the 29th ranked running back in the country according to 247Sports.
