Davis Warren had a roller coaster journey emerging as Michigan’s top recruit for the quarterback position. With the coming season, his possibilities of taking the Wolverines to the win are quite high. But this was not always the case. Warren had to face tremendous roadblocks to get where he was now. His health issues were a major setback in his journey. How let’s know about the whole situation.

Warren was diagnosed with leukemia in the year 2019, but cancer couldn’t stop him from playing even after his first round of chemo. Davis kept on playing in local fields. He lost 35 pounds but was always resilient towards returning to his team. After going through countless chemo sessions, Warren finally became cancer free and played four games in high school. 

But destiny had other plans. His entire senior season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without many highlight reels to showcase his skills, he faced difficulty in getting recruited by colleges or receiving any recognition. Despite that, he earned a spot on the Michigan team as a preferred walk-on, but there was no game action. His hard work finally paid off when Warren caught the attention of Michigan fans in the spring game by passing for 175 yards. And finally secured the position of backup quarterback for McCarthy in September 2022. Davis won a national championship with Michigan last year, which makes him a valuable asset for the team this season.

Davis Warren’s position in the 2024 season

Davis Warren has successfully secured his position in the Wolverines against all the odds. With the season right around the corner, Michigan Wolverines are going to open the College Football season against Fresno State on Saturday. The schedule is quite tough for them as they have to play Texas ahead of the season. However, Michigan has still not finalized a starter. There are possibilities of battle between Alex Orji and Davis Warren for the position.

Warren was one of the top hires after the departure of legendary player JJ McCarthy. Despite difficult health situations, Turner put together a highly productive season last year. He played 12 games and recorded 33 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, and six sacks. Making a remarkable impression of his abilities. So it’s easy to imagine what Turner could achieve now when he is healthy and can play with his full strength.

Although there are speculations on Alex Orji losing his position against Davis Warren as he has been challenging him throughout fall camp. A few days back, head coach Sherrone Moore made a cryptic statement saying that Orji would be a good choice for the starting position, but even Warren has his capabilities. Even Jack Tuttle was also one of the contenders for starting QB, but his fall camp injuries hampered his progress. Well, if that’s the case, Davis Warren has very well achieved his goal.  What are your thoughts on it do let us know in the comments.
