Chicago — Michigan does not yet know who its quarterback will be this fall, which doesn’t mean there’s a controversy, it just means the competition is open.
The main contenders are Wilton Speight, who had a strong finish to spring practice, John O’Korn, the transfer from Houston, who had to sit out last season and led Michigan’s demonstration team, and Shane Morris, who took a redshirt last season giving him two more years of eligibility. Brandon Peters was an early enrollee freshman and also will get a shot.
Preseason practice begins Aug. 8.
If Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh knows which way he might be leaning, he wasn’t offering any hints this week during Big Ten media days.
