Alex Orji Transfers to UNLV Football

Former Michigan quarterback Alex Orji has officially committed to UNLV for the 2025 season after entering the transfer portal following his junior year. During his time at Michigan, Orji was primarily used as a running QB, participating in 20 games with 3 starts, where he threw for 150 yards and rushed for 266 yards and a touchdown. His decision comes after Michigan secured top recruit Bryce Underwood, prompting his departure. Orji expressed excitement about the opportunity to play under new head coach Dan Mullen and offensive coordinator Corey Dennis. With two years of eligibility remaining, he is expected to compete for the starting position at UNLV. His transfer marks a significant shift for both Orji and the Wolverines, who are adjusting their quarterback depth.
