The McCaffrey family has plenty long-standing of connections to Stanford, but Christian McCaffrey's little brother has decided to stray from tradition and commit to Michigan

Dylan McCaffrey, who is rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 2 pro-style passer in the Class of 2017 per the 247Sports Composite, chose Michigan over Stanford and Duke.

Dylan's father, Ed McCaffrey, was a star with the Cardinal and went on to have a long NFL career. As most know, his older brother, Christian, is in the midst of a record-breaking career in Palo Alto as star running back and all-around player who finished as a Heisman Trophy finalist as a sophomore last season.

Max McCaffrey, Dylan's other older brother, just finished four years under David Cutcliffe with the Blue Devils, meaning Dylan ultimately chose to blaze his own path rather than follow in the footsteps of any family members.

Christian McCaffrey took to Twitter to congratulate his brother on the big decision.

Dylan McCaffrey was a first team selection to the MaxPreps Junior All-America team as an athlete as he helped lead Valor Christian to a state title last season, throwing for 2,800 yards, rushing for 592 more and totaling 40 touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
