CBS Sports has Michigan football's presumed starting quarterback in the middle of the pack in the Big Ten Conference.
Michigan is set to enter fall camp very soon and all eyes will be on the Wolverines' quarterback battle. It appears to be a three-man race between Alex Orji, Jack Tuttle, and Davis Warren. Both Warren and Orji started for the Maize and Blue team during Michigan's Spring Game this past April. But now that Tuttle is healthy he is going to be a strong candidate to earn the starting nod.
However, if the season started today, most people -- including myself -- believe Orji would walk out as the starting quarterback for the Wolverines. Orji has just one career passing attempt, but has established himself as a big-time running threat. His dual-threat ability makes him more than an intriguing option for the Wolverines' offense.ranked all the Big Ten projected starting quarterbacks for the 2024 season.
Alex Orji looked dynamic in the Michigan spring game, but the projected first-year starter has never attempted a pass in college. The Wolverines could be a run-heavy offense in 2024, which would fit the strength of Orji and his 6-foot-3, 236-pound frame. He unofficially completed 13 of his 18 pass attempts for 103 yards in the Michigan spring game back in April. He also had one carry for an 18-yard touchdown. Orji was not a highly-regarded recruit coming out of high school.
I also ranked the Big Ten projected starting quarterbacks earlier this summer -- you can see the full rankings below. I also ranked Orji at No. 9 with so much unknown. We don't know how he will do as the full-time starter but I also believe he is better than half the quarterbacks in the conference.3. Will Howard - Ohio State
