DETROIT (AP) — Connor Stalions, the former low-level recruiting staffer at Michigan who was at the center of a sign-stealing scandal, is running the defense at a Detroit high school.
“I got the most hated man in college football right now, Connor Stalions. He’s my defensive coordinator," Mumford coach William McMichael told The Detroit News.
Stalions is accused of running an advance-scouting scheme for more than two years at Michigan. He sent people to games involving the Wolverines' future opponents to digitally record signals that could be used to steal signs. In-person scouting and recording of signs are against NCAA rules.
Michigan is expected to receive a notice of allegations from the NCAA soon, though it will likely take months to resolve the matter. Jim Harbaugh, who coached the Wolverines and won a national title last season before jumping to the NFL, has denied having any knowledge of what Stalions was doing.
