"New Wolverines coach Kyle Whittingham is bringing Utah offensive coordinator Jason Beck with him to be his play-caller at Michigan, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. While the deal has not officially been announced, Whittingham acknowledged the hire during an appearance on ESPN's College Gameday on Thursday, calling the move "huge" for Michigan. "It's going to be a big plus having him there in Ann Arbor," Whittingham said."
"Beck spent only one season with the Utes under Whittingham. But this year, Utah's offense ranked fifth in scoring averaging 41.3 points per game. The Utes also ranked No. 1 in yards per rush (6.02) and second in rushing yards per game (266.3). Last season, Beck was the offensive coordinator at New Mexico, and in 2023 was offensive coordinator for Syracuse. The Wolverines finished their season Wednesday, losing to Texas 41-27 in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl."
