The Roseville, Calif., tight end did not talk with the Michigan coaches but he got a sense for the campus - loved the stadium - and said an assistant is supposed to stop by his school soon.
"I just got back from Northwestern, Notre Dame and Michigan," Jaggers said.
"None of the (Michigan) coaches were there but they said Jay Harbaugh would be at the school. I got the offer from Northwestern so that was a really awesome experience. I got to talk with (Pat) Fitzgerald and (Bob) Heffner.
"Fitz is an awesome guy. It was a cool experience. Not only did he talk to me about being able to play at Northwestern, he also gave me a lot of recruiting advice, what I should be looking for and stuff like that."
So far, the 6-foot-3, 237-pound tight end has been offered by Northwestern and Louisville. He talked highly about his stops at Notre Dame and Michigan, soaking up the atmosphere and he feels both programs will stay interested as his recruitment continues.
"Notre Dame all the tradition, being able to walk down that tunnel and to see the Play Like A Champion sign," Jaggers said. "That was the thing that stood out there. I talked to coach (Mike) Sanford and he told me he'd be at Roseville in a couple weeks to talk to me and watch me run around a little bit.
"'The Big House at Michigan was the best thing there. It was huge, unreal."
Jaggers said USC, Utah and Oregon State have also reached out recently and are starting to show more interest.
