Dylan McCaffrey moves to Northern Colorado to play for Dad

Dylan McCaffrey is going to play for his dad.

The former Michigan quarterback announced on Twitter on Sunday that he is moving to Northern Colorado, where his father Ed McCaffrey is the head coach.

Dylan quit last season before it started due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He played briefly in 2018, although he suffered a collarbone fracture that season. He played behind quarterback Shea Patterson last year.

Dylan, a former four-star recruit of Rivals.com, finished his career with the Wolverines with 242 passing yards and three touchdowns in 10 games.

Dylan, who is eligible to play for two more seasons and can play immediately as he is a graduate transfer, will join his father’s staff for his first season with the Bears.

Ed was hired in Northern Colorado in December 2019 to replace Earnest Collins Jr., who had only a 28-72 record in nine seasons at the helm.

Ed, who spent 13 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Denver Broncos, didn’t get his first season normally last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Big Sky conference chose to move the fall season to spring due to the coronavirus, and then Northern Colorado decided not to participate. The Bears will instead try to have a custom non-conference schedule this spring.

Dylan’s older brother, Christian, has just finished his fourth season with the Carolina Panthers. His younger brother, Luke, has just announced that he is from Nebraska.
