From the time that it was reported and when he actually entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, a whole college football season unfolded before our eyes.
It was the day that the Big Ten pulled the plug on the 2020 season when Michigan redshirt junior Dylan McCaffrey was revealed to have intent to seek his fortunes elsewhere, as he didn’t intend to stay in Ann Arbor. However, McCaffrey stayed enrolled at Michigan, and didn’t formally enter the NCAA transfer portal until earlier this month.
Despite the delay, where he will end up happened to be something of a foregone conclusion of sorts. With his father, Ed McCaffrey, serving as the head coach of Northern Colorado, the progeny, Dylan, announced that he will be joining his dad at UNC.

McCaffrey leaves Ann Arbor with his degree in hand and has two years of eligibility remaining. As far as his career with the Wolverines, he never quite got significant playing time, coming in either as a backup quarterback or a change of pace, as he sat behind Wilton Speight, John O’Korn, Brandon Peters and Shea Patterson during his tenure at U-M.
This past offseason, a starting job was up for grabs, but reports indicated that he was bypassed by both Joe Milton and Cade McNamara.
