Michigan football suspended analyst Connor Stalions with pay amid the program’s sign-stealing investigation, Wolverines athletic director Warde Manuel announced Friday.
Stalions is at the center of the NCAA’s investigation into Michigan’s potential sign-stealing. ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Mark Schlabach describe Stalions as a “a low-level staffer with a military background” who played a key part in the alleged “elaborate” in-person scouting system to decode opponents play signals.
According to ESPN’s report, Stalions is a former Marine captain who has worked in the recruiting department since May of 2022. He is reportedly known within the program for his ability to decipher signals from opposing teams, even claiming on his now-deleted LinkedIn page to using “Marine Corps philosophies and tactics” to identify “the opponent’s most likely course of action and most dangerous course of action.”
