  It took a while, but Dylan McCaffrey has finally signaled his planned departure. The Michigan quarterback entered his name into the NCAA's transfer portal on Thursday, a Michigan spokesman confirmed to MLive, likely bringing an end to his career in Ann Arbor. McCaffrey opted out of playing the 2020 season back in September, and planned to transfer then, MLive reported at the time. He figured to be part of the competition for Michigan's starting quarterback role, eventually won by Joe Milton. A senior, McCaffrey will have two years of eligibility remaining. He appeared in 13 games during his Michigan career, completing 18 of his 35 pass attempts for 242 yards and three touchdowns, but was plagued by injury. - Ann Arbor News

  The University of Northern Colorado football program won’t participate in the Big Sky Conference and FCS spring championship season. Instead, the Golden Bears, led by rookie head coach Ed McCaffrey, will pursue a modified non-conference schedule in late spring. The school cited the health and safety of its student-athletes and coaches along with "staffing and faculty challenges associated with multiple sports competing simultaneously." Northern Colorado is the fifth Big Sky program to either opt out of the spring season or to pursue a modified spring schedule. The others are Montana, Montana State, Portland State and Sacramento State. - AP College Football

  That didn't take long. On Wednesday, UW redshirt sophomore quarterback Jacob Sirmon officially entered the transfer portal. And on Friday, he announced his next destination. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Bothell product announced in a social media post that he will transfer to Central Michigan. "Excited for this new opportunity!" Sirmon tweeted. Sirmon - who was ranked as a four-star prospect, the No. 1 player in the state and the No. 6 pro-style passer in the 2018 class by the 247Sports Composite - also entered the transfer portal in April 2019, before removing his name just two days later. He served as Jacob Eason's primary backup last season, before losing a quarterback competition to redshirt freshman Dylan Morris this fall. In six career games, Sirmon completed 3 of 4 passes for 28 yards. - Seattle Times

  On April 29, 2019, UW quarterback Jacob Sirmon entered his name in the transfer portal, before removing it two days later. It's more likely the second time sticks. Sirmon - a 6-foot-5, 240-pound redshirt sophomore from Bothell - has again entered the transfer portal, his father David Sirmon confirmed to The Times on Wednesday. A former Bothell High School standout, Sirmon appeared in six games in his UW career and completed 3 of 4 passes for 28 yards. He served as Jacob Eason's backup last season, completing 2 of 3 passes for 19 yards in mop-up duty. Despite being the odds-on favorite to assume the starting role this offseason, that spot went to redshirt freshman Dylan Morris — who has started all four games this fall. When he signed with Washington in 2018, Sirmon was ranked as a four-star prospect, the No. 1 player in the state of Washington, the No. 6 pro-style passer and the No. 94 overall prospect in his class by the 247Sports Composite. - The Seattle Times

  The Colorado Mesa football team made the long trip to South Dakota and got an extra present when they woke up this morning. The forecast called for a chance of snow but what they got was almost a blizzard with the field completely covered and flurries from the opening whistle to the final horn. The snow didn't stop the Mavericks as they churned out 392 yards on the ground in a 56-7 romp of Black Hills State on Saturday afternoon, pushing their record to 2-0 on the season. The win was the first for Colorado Mesa in Spearfish since 2014. The Mavericks rushed for 392 yards on the ground and finished with 549 yards of total offense, averaging 6.9 yards per play. Six players rushed the ball with four of the six rushing for over 50 yards in the game. The Maverick defense remained stout for the second straight week, limiting their opponents to less than 275 yards in both games. Linebacker Remington Green led the way with 11 tackles with 3.5 of those going for a loss. Pierre Hayes applied pressure on the quarterback, picking up a pair of sacks for 14 yards worth of losses. - Colorado Mesa Football

  TCU football had another wide receiver enter the NCAA transfer portal this week. Senior Dylan Thomas has put his name in the portal, sources confirmed on Thursday. Thomas joins fellow receiver Al'Dontre Davis as Horned Frog players who entered the portal this week. Thomas, a senior from Fort Worth Paschal, started the first two games of the season but did not play in TCU's 21-14 loss to Kansas State last Saturday. Thomas had three catches for 37 yards this season. He played in five games, including four starts, before a season-ending injury in 2019. Thomas had an injury-plagued 2018 season, too, playing in just one game. Thomas finishes his TCU career with 25 catches for 301 yards and two TDs over 28 games. He is expected to graduate in December. With the NCAA freezing eligibility this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, Thomas will be eligible to play one more college season in 2021. It will be his sixth year in college as he signed with TCU as part of the 2016 class. - Fort Worth Star

  Michigan quarterback Dylan McCaffrey is opting out of the upcoming season and is looking to transfer, a source close to the situation confirmed to The Detroit News on Wednesday. This news comes on the heels of the Big Ten announcing it will start a nine-game season Oct. 23-24. McCaffrey, who was competing for the starting job with Joe Milton and Cade McNamara, will graduate from Michigan in December and have two years of eligibility remaining. He is not the only Michigan player who has opted out. Receiver Nico Collins, who returned to play his final season rather than head to the NFL Draft after the bowl game earlier this year, reportedly has signed with an agent. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported Wednesday that Collins signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus. Right tackle Jalen Mayfield and cornerback Ambry Thomas already have declared for the NFL Draft, and running back Christian Turner was the first Michigan player to announce his plans to opt out.

McCaffrey had the most experience of the returning quarterbacks at Michigan. In seven games last season, he was 10-of-20 for 116 yards and one touchdown as Shea Patterson's backup, while Milton was 3-of-7 for 59 yards and a touchdowns. McCaffrey played in six games in 2018 behind Patterson and was 8-of-15 for 126 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown last season and had 99 yards on 10 carries in 2018. - Detroit News

  Michigan football players continue to go through voluntary practices despite the Big Ten canceling the fall season, but there's a twist. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is keeping his players engaged by having them train for what essentially will be an NFL combine. It's scheduled to be held in Michigan Stadium on Oct. 24, the day Michigan was to have played Ohio State in the restructured 10-game Big Ten schedule that was scrapped last week. The players will practice combine-specific drills these next nine weeks, four days a week, to prepare for the event that expects to draw NFL scouts and the players' families. Michigan players returned for voluntary practices Aug. 10.

Holding a scouting combine at the stadium is an effort to allow NFL scouts an opportunity watch and test the players, who will not have an opportunity to play football this fall. In the event of a spring season, which the Big Ten currently is exploring, this could give players who are considering their next step, whether to remain at Michigan or head to the NFL, an opportunity to play a spring season and still pursue the NFL because NFL teams will already have their measurables. One player told The Detroit News this format is keeping the players "interested, for sure." Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey is completely focused on these practices and the Michigan NFL Combine. - Detroit News

  Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said his quarterbacks are doing what they can to stay in shape, throwing and working on the offense install every day. Harbaugh, who appeared Thursday on "The Rich Eisen Show," was asked how he will evaluate the quarterbacks heading into the upcoming season considering there was no spring practice, which was canceled when all on-campus activities were suspended in mid-March. Shea Patterson, the Wolverines' starting quarterback the last two seasons, has moved on to the NFL, and Michigan will break in a new starter. Dylan McCaffrey, Joe Milton and Cade McNamara will be part of an open competition once on-campus workouts and practices are allowed to begin. "That's to be seen," Harbaugh said about the evaluation process. "We've got some guys we really love and they've been champing at the bit. The guys are excited to get back to working out with the team, back to practicing, but our quarterbacks, in particular, they're champing at the bit, which is better."

McCaffrey has the most game experience. Last year he was 10-of-20 for 116 yards and one touchdown, while Milton was 3-of-7 for 59 yards and a touchdown. Harbaugh said the staff meets frequently with the quarterbacks in Zoom video conferencing sessions. "We've been installing football and told the guys, 'Hey, learn the system the best you can,'" Harbaugh said. "'Be an expert at it when we do get back together and also get in the best shape of your life and throw the football. Get out and throw it every day.' Each one has done that and taken advantage of that and gotten guys to throw to. - Ann Arbor News

  Missing spring football hurts for every team, but for a team breaking in a new starting quarterback, not to mention four new starters on the offensive line, this was a tough break for the Wolverines. It's a three-man competition - Dylan McCaffrey, Joe Milton and Cade McNamara - but really, this is about McCaffrey and Milton. Offensive coordinator Josh Gattis said they're starting with a blank slate, and last year's depth chart won't play a role. But clearly McCaffrey has the edge in terms of game experience as Shea Patterson's backup. - Detroit News

  Ohio State football coaches since Jim Tressell have publicly put a year-round emphasis on the annual rivalry game with Michigan. The Wolverines have not placed the same 52-week emphasis on The Game. Buckeye fans cite that as a factor in their teams' current eight-game winning streak in the rivalry. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, however, told NBC Sports' Mike Tirico on Wednesday that the losing streak definitely stirs an emotional response for him. "We gotta beat Ohio State," Haurbaugh said on 'Lunch Talk Live.' "Nothing makes us angrier than that, or me. That's what we're working toward every day. "We've beaten everybody else, but we haven't beaten them. And that's what we have to do - beat them, win a (Big Ten) championship, get ourselves in the playoffs, win a national championship." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  With a spring practice, perhaps Michigan's quarterback competition would be clearer at this point. But since the Wolverines never got in a practice because college sports activities were suspended two months ago in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains fuzzy. This we know - Dylan McCaffrey, the backup to starter Shea Patterson last season, Joe Milton and Cade McNamara are competing for the starting job. But in offensive coordinator Josh Gattis' view, the Wolverines are "nowhere near to having a front-runner" at quarterback. Gattis met with reporters Thursday via Zoom to discuss a number of topics regarding the Michigan offense, including replacing four starters on the line - he said Michigan could be more athletic up front. But the quarterback competition is front and center.

There is no timetable when college football will resume, so for now, Gattis and his players will continue to hold virtual meetings. He said they have one install per week, and the players are on their own working out. "We got to get the reps, we got to get the battle going to figure out who's going to be our quarterback," Gattis said. "They're all even. They're all dead even. There's nobody out front, there's nobody left behind. Each guy is different. Each guy has a different strength and a different weakness than the other guys, and so it's a really interesting battle because we've got to be able to decide who's going to give us the best opportunity to win games. - Detroit News
