Michigan Quarterback Alex Orji Enters Transfer Portal

Alex Orji, Michigan's presumed starting quarterback for the 2024 season, has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after a mixed tenure with the Wolverines. The 6'3", 235-pound dual-threat quarterback played in 20 games over three seasons, starting three times this past year but struggled with passing accuracy, completing just 53.3% of his attempts for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Despite his limitations in throwing, Orji showcased his athleticism, rushing for 383 yards and four touchdowns during his time in Ann Arbor. His decision to transfer comes as Michigan prepares for a new era of quarterback play, especially with the commitment of five-star recruit Bryce Underwood. Orji has two years of eligibility remaining, making him a potentially valuable addition for other programs in need of a quarterback. His departure marks a significant shift in Michigan's quarterback depth chart as they seek to restructure their offensive strategy.
