The quarterback picture for Michigan has been fluid in recent weeks, with two of the QB’s announcing they’d be
entering the transfer portal. One of those quarterbacks to enter was Alex Orji. During his three year career in Ann
Arbor, Orji appeared in 20 games at quarterback and made three starts during the 2024 season. But with Orji
entering the portal, along with veteran QB Jack Tuttle announcing his retirement from the game during the
season, there were real questions about Michigan’s QB depth heading into the Reliaquest Bowl against Alabama.
With the team now in Tampa to prepare for the matchup, a team spokesman confirmed to MLive that Orji did travel
with the team and still intends on playing in the bowl game. Having Orji available is huge for a Michigan team
that doesn’t have much depth or experience at the position at this point in the season.
