Former Michigan assistant football coach Matt Weiss was indicted Thursday in a Detroit federal court on 24 federal charges.

According to a Department of Justice release, Weiss is charged with 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft.

Weiss, 42, was hired by then-coach Jim Harbaugh in 2021 after 12 years in the NFL. He was the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Wolverines.

According to the release, the FBI found Weiss gained access to student-athlete databases of more than 100 colleges and universities and downloaded personal information and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes from 2015 to January 2023.

MLive reports Weiss primarily targeted female college athletes “based on their school affiliation, athletic history, and physical characteristics.”

SI reports Weiss gained access to the social media, email and cloud storage accounts of more than 2,000 athletes and “illegally obtained access” to accounts of more than 1,300 additional students at universities across the county.

Weiss faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on each count of computer hacking and two years on each aggravate identity theft count.
