Connor Stalions recalls getting his sign-stealing start on Niumatalolo’s Navy staff

Connor Stalions, the alleged mastermind of Michigan’s sign-stealing operation that grew into a scandal last year, said in a new Netflix documentary that his first encounter with the fairly common practice of deciphering signals was at the Naval Academy, where he was a student volunteer for current San Jose State coach Ken Niumatalolo.

In the documentary, “Untold: Sign Stealer”, Stalions mentions Niumatalolo on several occasions, but the former Navy head coach is never accused of any wrongdoing.
