Connor Stalions is set to be the main feature of a Netflix documentary set to premiere next month following the saga that rocked college football last season.
The former Michigan assistant left the program following accusations of sign stealing and is still being investigated by the NCAA. However, he will get to tell his side of the story in a doc named ‘Sign Stealer,’ which has been announced as part of Netflix’s ‘UNTOLD’ series.
“Connor Stalions shares his side of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme that turned him into a viral villain,” the streaming giants announced on Monday.

“Maybe Central Michigan can watch it and finally figure out how he got on their sidelines,” a fan quipped.
“I swear if it’s anything like Swamp Kings, I’ll never watch another Netflix documentary again,” wrote another.
“The fact Netflix producers could get this not only off the ground but done before the NCAA actually gets anywhere with its formal process is beyond parody,” said a third.
“Untold documentaries are a cool premise, but since they do interviews, it’s not unbiased and doesn’t dig into the full truth,” a fourth commented.
How Conor Stalions Is Believed To Have Stolen Opponents’ Hand Signals
A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Connor Stalions was listed as an analyst for the Wolverines, and according to his LinkedIn account, he was hired in 2022.
He resigned from the university last November, having been suspended without pay following the accusations.
Several Big 10 schools discovered records of tickets to their games purchased in his name, with surveillance video showing people in the seats pointing cell phones toward the field.
While the NCAA hasn’t banned sign-stealing outright, it does prohibit the use of electronic equipment to record teams’ signals, as well as advanced scouting of future opponents during the season.
