Utah offensive coordinator Jason Beck will join former Utes head coach Kyle Whittingham's staff at Michigan and fill the same role with the Wolverines.

Whittingham confirmed the news during an appearance Thursday on ESPN's "College GameDay," calling the hiring "huge for us."

"It's going to be a big plus having him there in Ann Arbor," Whittingham added.

Beck, 45, just completed his first season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at No. 15 Utah (11-2), which routed Nebraska 44-22 on Wednesday in the Las Vegas Bowl. The Utes averaged 41.2 points and 482.9 yards of offense per game this season.

He previously served as the OC/QBs coach at New Mexico (2025) and Syracuse (2023) after coaching quarterbacks for Syracuse (2022), Virginia (2016-21) and his alma mater BYU (2013-15).
