Connor Stalions, the recruiting analyst at the center of Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal, no longer works for the Wolverines, having parted ways with the football program Friday night after an initial suspension. Stalions officially had worked with Michigan since May 2022, but had served the Wolverines as a volunteer assistant since 2015, according to his now-deleted LinkedIn page.
Initial reports indicated Stalions had been fired, but Michigan subsequently stated that he resigned his position. In his first public comment since an NCAA investigation into the controversy began, Stalions released a statement to The Athletic late Friday night addressing his time with the Wolverines.
“I love the University of Michigan and its football program,” Stallions said. “And I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work with the incredible student athletes, coach Harbaugh and the other coaches that have been a part of the Michigan football family during my tenure. I do not want to be a distraction from what I hope to be a championship run for the team, and I will continue to cheer them on.”
