Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore provided an interesting update on his team’s plans at quarterback as the regular season draws closer.
The defending national champions will look a lot different this year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL after accepting the Los Angeles Chargers’ HC vacancy, and Moore was named the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan will also have a new starting quarterback. Last year’s signal-caller, JJ McCarthy, declared for the 2024 NFL Draft and was taken 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings.
Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle and Alex Orji are the three front-runners for the starting job, according to Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. Tuttle attempted 17 passes in minimal action last season, completing 15 of them for 130 yards and a touchdown.
With the Aug. 31 season opener against Fresno State drawing closer, Moore stresses that he’s still taking his time deciding on the new starting QB in Ann Arbor:
“The ideal timeline is when we feel like we’ve got the guy who will help us win. There’s not a date, not a time. We will have a feel as a staff…(Offensive coordinator) Kirk Campbell is a phenomenal coach…he will make a great decision and we will be there to make it together.”

After hosting Fresno State in their season opener at Michigan Stadium, the Wolverines will have the luxury of staying home for four more home games before they play their first road contest.
Michigan will host the Texas Longhorns on Sept. 7 in a can’t-miss showdown before welcoming Arkansas State the following weeks. The Wolverines will then host the USC Trojans on Sept. 21 before wrapping up their homestand against Minnesota on Sept. 28.
The Wolverines won’t hit the road until Oct. 5, when they visit the Washington Huskies in a national championship game rematch.
