The relationship between the University of Michigan and Paramus Catholic (Paramus, N.J.) is getting downright neighborly.

Paramus has sent several top recruits to the Wolverines, including the nation's No. 1 player from 2016 Rashan Gary.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh reciprocated by speaking at Paramus' gradation on Thursday and now this: Michigan has invited the New Jersey power to play a game at Michigan Stadium – The Big House, capacity 109,901.

According to the Detroit Free Press, Paramus Catholic will likely play St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, Md.) on Sept. 2. That's one day before the Wolverines open at home against Hawaii.



According to the report, the news of this game comes shortly after the announcement of a showcase of games between Michigan teams — "Battle of the Big House" — that will take place Aug. 25-27.
