Ex-Michigan Wolverines QB Dylan McCaffrey transferring to Northern Colorado

Former Michigan quarterback Dylan McCaffrey is transferring to Northern Colorado, where he will have the chance to play for his father, Ed McCaffrey.

Dylan had been an ESPN 300 recruit in the 2017 class but was never able to win the starting job at Michigan. He only attempted 15 passes in 2018 and suffered a broken collarbone that shortened his season. He was a backup to Shea Patterson in 2019.

McCaffrey couldn't get his career started at Michigan and opted out of the 2020 season before it commenced.

The elder McCaffrey became the head coach for the Bears in December 2019, but he has yet to coach a game for Northern Colorado because the Big Sky moved its season to the spring due to COVID-19.
