AP sources reported Monday that Sherrone Moore is expected to be suspended by the University of Michigan for the third and fourth games of the 2025 season as the team’s sign-stealing investigation continues.
The suspension is likely the last in a series that began in 2023, when the Wolverines were accused of stealing signs from opposing teams, leading fans and teams alike to accuse them of having an unfair advantage.
Sherrone Moore’s Suspension is Backbreaking for Michigan, ESPN Analyst Tells Pat McAfee
Moore’s suspension, which will be imposed during the team’s games against Central Michigan and Nebraska, is a backbreaker for the Wolverines, and there isn’t any end in sight to the investigation, ESPN’s Heather Dinich told Pat McAfee.
“This is the soap opera that won’t end,” Dinich said on The Pat McAfee Show. “And it was one of the most interesting stories of the season when it broke, what was it two seasons ago? And you know, to be honest with you, I would expect Michigan to do precisely what it did when this happened, which is Michigan versus everybody. Remember how that turned out? They went and they beat everybody.
“This is a different Michigan team than the one that won the national title, though. That year, they had so many guys come back and veteran guys. But I mean, even without this, you would expect more from Michigan this season. But, yes, it’s huge news. It’s devastating for the program that they’re continuing to deal with this. But at the end of the day, they’ve still beaten Ohio State a couple of years in a row now. And if they can do it again, that’s it.”
During Moore’s suspension, he’ll be barred from any team-related activities.

“Moore will also receive additional recruiting-related penalties,” ESPN’s Dan Wetzel wrote. “The NCAA could still further punish Moore in addition to any self-imposed school penalty. A final resolution is expected before the start of the season … Moore’s suspension ties back to Moore allegedly deleting a thread of 52 text messages with Stalions, a former Michigan staffer at the heart of Michigan’s alleged sign stealing scheme.”
