Michigan Quarterback Alex Orji Enters Transfer Portal

Michigan Wolverines quarterback Alex Orji has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal following a challenging 2024 season. Orji, who served as a backup and started three games this season, finished with 148 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 260 rushing yards, while the team's passing game ranked last in the FBS. He was initially replaced by Davis Warren after struggling in a game against Washington. The Wolverines recently secured a commitment from top quarterback recruit Bryce Underwood, further complicating Orji's chances of starting in Michigan. Orji, who has two years of eligibility left, is now looking for opportunities to continue his college football career elsewhere. Michigan's offense faced significant struggles this season, averaging just 22.3 points per game, which has prompted the coaching staff to seek reinforcements in the transfer market.
