One of the biggest storylines with Michigan this season has been quarterback play. The Wolverines started off the year with Davis Warren at QB, before making a switch to Alex Orji ahead of the USC game.
With the inconsistency at QB this season, ESPN insider Pete Thamel expects Michigan to go to the transfer portal this offseason. He called this a “bridge year” at quarterback for the Wolverines.
“This is a bridge year at quarterback for Michigan, and this is a byproduct of them being spoiled by their success,” Thamel said Wednesday on the “College GameDay Podcast” with colleague Rece Davis. “A year ago at this time, J.J. McCarthy going pro just wasn’t a conversation — at least J.J. McCarthy being the 10th pick in the draft was not a conversation. He could have gone pro, but he had not played to the level. Even in mid-November last year, people weren’t staunchly standing on the table.”
Thamel continued: “Supposedly he had one of the greatest pro days, like, in the history of the world. So, again, that late surge, combined with Jim Harbaugh’s collegiate ambivalence, as he was looking at the NFL, left Michigan in flux a little bit here. So I really think that when you look at Michigan right now, they just kind of got caught, and they did make some portal/non-portal forays at the end of spring. And the unfortunate part for Alex Orji is the reason [he wasn’t] the starter is he’s very limited in the pass game, and I think we’ve seen that in the small sample size we’ve had of him.”
