Michigan football is reshaping itself in an image that Sherrone Moore finds more amenable to winning in a new era, and some of the remnants of 2024 appear to be falling away.
Thought all offseason to be the Wolverines’ presumptive starter at quarterback, Alex Orji only got three games as the maize and blue starter, in the wins against USC and Minnesota as well as in the first quarter in the loss at Washington. However, Orji — a running quarterback who had some limitations as a passer — returned to his role as an occasional wildcat quarterback in the final games of the 2024 season.
Now, with five-star Bryce Underwood in the fold and Michigan seeking a veteran in the transfer portal, Orji appears to be on his way out as he’s entering the transfer portal.
Orji appeared in 10 games this season and was 23-for-44 for 148 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
