Former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions remains at the center of an investigation into an off-campus scouting and sign-stealing operation.
He was suspended by the school in October and resigned from his position with the football program the following month.
But the former member of the Wolverines’ staff has found a new opportunity that will keep him in Michigan. Stalions has been named defensive coordinator at Detroit Mumford High School, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday .
Earlier this month, Michigan received a draft of the NCAA’s notice of allegations (NOA), which accused Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore and several other members of last season’s national championship team of violating NCAA rules. The draft was obtained by ESPN.Moore was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach after Jim Harbaugh bolted for the NFL. Moore handled the head coaching duties on an interim basis multiple times while Harbaugh served suspensions last season.
According to the NOA draft, Moore could be penalized with a suspension and show-cause penalty after he allegedly deleted a series of text messages between him and Stalions.
The messages are believed to have been exchanged the same day that news of the alleged sign-stealing scheme became public. The messages were eventually recovered via “device imaging,” according to the draft.
The notice from the NCAA also presented evidence that Stalions was wearing Central Michigan gear and obtained a sideline pass during a Chippewas football game in 2023 against Michigan State.
