What to expect from Alex Orji if he is Michigan’s starting QB in 2024

After a stellar college career from J.J. McCarthy, the Michigan Wolverines are moving on to the next era of quarterbacks. It’s unclear who that may be, with guys like Jayden Denegal, Jack Tuttle and Jadyn Davis all figuring to factor in. But ahead of the pack could be junior Alex Orji, who has had a pretty interesting career and journey thus far.

Orji came to Ann Arbor as a three-star recruit and the No. 28 ranked quarterback in his class, according to the 247Sports composite. He ran for 39 touchdowns and more than 2,000 yards his junior and senior seasons, which drew the eyes of many programs across the country.
