The Michigan quarterback room is going to look much different in 2025 than it did in 2024. Davis Warren started nine games but tore his ACL in the ReliaQuest Bowl and will be out for the foreseeable future, Alex Orji started three games but has since transferred to UNLV, and Jack Tuttle started one game, medically retired during the season and is now a graduate assistant at Michigan.
Despite the turnover at QB for the Wolverines, the room isn’t weaker by any means heading into the fall campaign. Michigan landed the No. 1 overall recruit in the nation in QB Bryce Underwood and has also given him veteran competition to push him for QB1 duties. Michigan added Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene back in December, and this past week also added East Carolina transfer Jake Garcia. Michigan’s QB room now consists of Underwood, Keene, Garcia, redshirt freshman Jadyn Davis, and true freshman Chase Herbstreit.
Both Keene and Garcia have starting experience. Garcia has seven career starts while Keene has 35.

Keene has passed for 8,245 yards in his career with 65 touchdowns and 28 interceptions and a 67.8 completion percentage. Underwood, Davis, and Herbstreit haven’t taken collegiate snaps.
