Brandon Peters confirmed as first backup quarterback, Dylan McCaffrey is third-string

Jim Harbaugh has a set quarterback depth chart 12 days before kickoff. Who are you, and what have you done with him?

Harbaugh announced the full quarterback depth chart during an M Club Ann Arbor luncheon earlier Monday.

Brandon Peters is Shea Patterson’s first backup, and Dylan McCaffrey enters the season on the third-string. This announcement breaks tradition, as the first three years featured fierce quarterback battles that lasted until game week.

2015: Jake Rudock and Shane Morris (John O’Korn ineligible due to transfer, but reportedly best of the bunch)

Peters hit the field for his first extended action against Rutgers last October, completing 10 of 14 passes for 124 yards and a score.
