Michigan’s Shocking  Qb Exodus: Wolverines’ roster shaken after missing College Football Playoff….

The stampede has already begun in Ann Arbor. Head coach Sherrone Moore’sWolverines are beginning to suffer the consequences of a year of ups and downs that left them out of the playoffs, with the unexpected departure of two of their backup quarterbacks, who decided to leave in search of greener pastures.

Michigan has yet to fully recover from the sudden departure of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Despite having the stellar arm of quarterback Davis Warren, the Wolverines barely managed a record of seven wins and five losses (5-4 Big Ten).

The modest season shook the foundations of the team, causing several of its members to decide to hit the transfer portal, among them quarterbacks Alex Orji and Jayden Denegal.

As soon as the season ended, Denegal decided to return home to Southern California and committed to San Diego State. Denegal arrived at Michigan in 2023 as a three-star prospect. However, he saw very little action under center, going just 4-of-5 for 50 yards and a touchdown last season.

Orji, meanwhile, is still waiting for an offer. He did see some activity this season, filling in for Warren in two games with a record of 23 completions on 44 attempts, 148 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.

The departure of Denegal and Orji leaves Moore with only Warren in the quarterback room, as Jack Tuttle has already fulfilled his eligibility. Warren himself is also entering his senior year, forcing Michigan’s brass to begin the search for its next starter right now.

The Wolverines will close out their 2024-2025 season on Dec. 31 facing the Alabama Crimson Tide in the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

After that, the team will take a much-needed vacation to lick its wounds and then begin thinking about the 2025-2026 season. The future is uncertain for Michigan, but it’s all part of the ups and downs of the sport
