Dylan McCaffrey moved to northern Colorado to play for his father

Dylan McCaffrey is going to play for his father.

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

Dylan chose not to participate in last season before it begins due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He played briefly in 2018, but suffered a broken collarbone that season. He played behind quarterback Shea Patterson last year.

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

Dylan transferred to play for daddy, Ed

Dylan, who has two more seasons of eligibility and can play immediately because he’s a transfer graduate, will join his father’s staff for his first season with the Bears.

Ed was hired from northern Colorado in December 2019, replacing Earnest Collins Jr. – who has compiled just 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 have his first season normally last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Big Sky conference chose to move its fall season to spring due to the coronavirus, and then northern Colorado decided not to participate. Instead, the Bears will try to have a modified non-conference schedule this spring.

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