Last year, Connor Stalions was the main subject of college football. A year later, it just might be that he is again, just no one knew it yet.
Nearly a year after resigning his post as an analyst for Michigan football, given the alleged sign-stealing scheme, Stalions resurfaced, first as the defensive coordinator for Detroit (Mich.) Mumford, and then in the Sign Stealer documentary on Netflix. Now he’s got a new opportunity, calling plays for Belleville (Mich.) in the MHSAA playoff.
Which just so happens to be the same school as Michigan football’s top overall target in 2025, five-star quarterback and No. 1 overall prospect, Bryce Underwood.
Belleville’s Head Football Coach Dejuan Rogers told CBS Detroit Stalions became part of the coaching staff shortly after the regular season ended.
“I called Coach Will (McMichaels) and asked him if he knew of any reliable help that could assist us during the playoffs and he recommended Connor,” Rogers said.
Stalions is calling the plays for the Belleville Tigers, who are now two wins into the playoff. Which means he’s working directly with Underwood, who has been committed to LSU since January.
Will it make a difference in the Wolverines’ recruitment of the top overall prospect? Time will tell, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
The Belleville offense under Stalions has put up 68 points (vs. Pioneer) and 42 points (against Saline) through two weeks.
