Michigan football: 2025 schedule and key games
Michigan football’s schedule and key games for the 2025 season.
The Michigan football program has added a veteran quarterback to its roster.
Jake Garcia, previously at Eastern Carolina with stops before that at University of Miami Florida and Missouri, has committed to the Wolverines, the program announced on social media on Monday, June 16. Garcia took a visit to Ann Arbor earlier in June, which many felt was a signal that Michigan was seeking veteran reinforcements in the room.
Garcia completed 109 of 181 passes (60.2%) for the Pirates last season, throwing for 1,429 yards (7.9 per attempt) to go with an underwhelming ratio of eight touchdowns against 12 interceptions. He started the first six games of the 2024 season for ECU and the team went 3-3 overall, but after he threw four touchdowns in the season-opener against Norfolk State, he had four touchdowns and nine interceptions over the ensuing five games.
The now junior ultimately lost the job after a 55-24 loss to Charlotte on Oct. 5. 2024 (who was coached by now Michigan associate head coach Biff Poggi) and was supplanted by Katin Houser, the former Michigan State quarterback in 2023.
Garcia is a big body, standing 6 feet 3 and 203 pounds and is somewhat mobile − he ran for two touchdowns last season but counting sack yardage, his 40 carries went for just 46 yards (1.1 per attempt).
This is a particularly notable development because of what it signals. U-M brought in Mikey Keene from Fresno State last offseason in order to compete for the job with freshman sensation Bryce Underwood. The hope was either the raw talent of Underwood would win out, but if not, Keene would be the experienced presence in the room to take over and guide the ship until Underwood was ready for the job.
Instead, Keene missed the entire spring…
