QB Dylan McCaffrey to join dad at Northern Colorado

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — Former Michigan quarterback Dylan McCaffrey announced on social media he plans to transfer to Northern Colorado, where his father is the head coach. In a Twitter post Sunday night, McCaffrey wrote that he was “extremely honored to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at The University of Northern Colorado.” McCaffrey threw for 242 career yards and three touchdowns as a backup at Michigan. His father, Ed, a former NFL wide receiver, was hired by Northern Colorado on Dec. 12, 2019. He’s yet to coach a game for the Bears following the decision by the Big Sky Conference to postpone its fall 2020 football season to the spring of 2021.
