In seven games over two seasons, former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions, whose conduct led to an NCAA inquiry into sign-stealing, claims to have been familiar with nearly every signal opponents employed.
In response to TCU coach Sonny Dykes informing On3 that his squad altered several signs before defeating the Wolverines in the 2022 College Football semifinals, Stalions posted that information on social media on Saturday.
In the On3 report, Dykes stated: “We got some favorable matchups because of that and, yeah, there was some big plays in the game,”
The most recent attempt to imply that Michigan’s success or failure was due to his status as a sign-stealing member of the squad infuriated the Stalions. In his post, Stalions wrote:
“There were 7 games in my time at Michigan where I knew almost every signal the whole game: 2021Â MSU, 2022 MSU, 2022Â PSU, 2022Â OSU, 2022 TCU, 2021Â Georgia, and 2021Â Wisconsin,”
 “We lost 3 of those games because we didn’t tackle well, and Georgia was historically good. We won the four other games because we dominated the line of scrimmage & tackled well. Blocking, ball security, tackling, run fits & coverage tools.
“That’s football. This is not rocket science.”
As an assistant to former coach Jim Harbaugh, who was suspended for three games in exchange for the Big Ten ceasing its own investigation into the allegations after the two ended up in court, current coach Sherrone Moore was accused by the NCAA in a notice pertaining to Michigan’s sign-stealing investigation nearly a year ago of breaking the rules.
Moore was also charged with erasing text exchanges with the Stalions before the NCAA was able to retrieve and use them. Moore has stated that he has cooperated with the NCAA’s inquiry and would do so going forward.
