    Michigan football’s “viral villain” will steal the Netflix spotlight on Aug. 30.

    Connor Stalions –  the former Michigan off-field analyst hired in 2022 – is slated to appear in Netflix’s documentary series “UNTOLD after what many consider one of the biggest scandal in college football history.

    In his featured episode, “Sign Stealer,” Stallions will for the first time reveal “his side of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme that turned him into a viral villain,” as reported by Netflix.

    Stalions was labeled as the lead individual spearheading a network of people who reportedly bought tickets to Big 10 games to gain intel by recording opposing teams’ sideline signals in person, which has been forbidden since 1994.

    “He spearheads the operation,” a Big Ten coach told Yahoo in October 2023.

    “I once told [Stalions], ‘We know what kind of s–t you are doing and it’s f–ked up.'”

    Stalions resigned from his position in November 2023.

    Despite the substantial distraction for the 2023 season, the Wolverines posted a perfect 15-0 record and won the national championship.

    Jim Harbaugh, who was serving as Michigan’s head coach at the time, was suspended three games by the Big Ten last year for the scandal.

    The team still prevailed in those games, with former offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore serving as an interim head coach.

    Since then, Harbaugh departed for the NFL and became the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

    Even though Harbaugh has moved on from Michigan football, the NCAA investigation into the sign-stealing saga remains ongoing.

    The NCAA has been moving at a slow tempo, as it has “taken no shortage of twists and turns,” The Detroit Press reported in January.

    The other two episodes will feature U.S. women’s national team soccer player Hope Solo on Sept. 3 and dive into the 2009 death of Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair, airing on August 20.
