J.J. McCarthy is Michigan’s starting quarterback, but we’re a ways away from finding out who will be the backup QB for the Wolverines.
Michigan started their spring practices this week and head coach Jim Harbaugh talked about the potential options behind McCarthy.
“Backup quarterback-wise, Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle, Alex Orji — Jayden Denegal is already off to a really hot start in the spring. So is Jack Tuttle. He’s been really good the first two days.”
- Warren, a former walk-on, quickly became Michigan’s backup after McNamara suffered a season-ending injury in Week 3. Warren was 5-of-9 last season for 89 yards.
