The college football world is already shaping up to host a better 2025 showdown. With just one month left for the final signing season, big leagues continue to push their limits to attract top-tier talents all across the nation. But when it comes to Michigan and Sherrone Morre, the hype is unreal. Despite receiving constant taunts for not focusing on the previous transfer portal that eventually led to a weak QB panel, Moore has been pulling out all the stops to mend it up. Quite to the dismay, the issues persist and it can even become worse if swirled-up intel over Alex Orji and Jayden Davis comes out true anytime soon.

Michigan still has no QB commits in their 2025 class. Needless to say, they badly need a solid QB1 to restore the prestige with a better next season. Moore experimented with three QBs in a few weeks. After Davis Warren’s interception issues in the Oregon game, he turned to Alex Orji, the Junior QB, holding great control over the passing plays. However, he came up short against Washington, and people immediately started to call the decision on the brink of failure. But trollers might not get a chance to blame Michigan’s downturn on Orji as James Yoder from Chat Sports said, ”I expect Orji to go somewhere where he, you know, probably closer to home to Texas where he can maybe play tight end maybe playing HB back different position other than quarterback.”

The situation is no different for another freshman QB Jadyn Davis who entered the Wolverines camp last December as an early enrollee. While the coach said he is still in his developing stage and isn’t ready to leave an immediate impact on the team, a transfer portal call seemingly looms large. ”I don’t see Jadyn Davis being a part of the long-term plans as the quarterback for this program. I’ll leave it at that. I hope I’m wrong. Hope those guys have fruitful careers here, but that is what the tea leaves.” said Yoder. 

Moore has undergone a lot throughout the season. Bagging a 5-4 overall record and a 3-3 record in the Big Ten, the Wolverines have not been in a decent spot in the coaches poll or AP Poll. The brutal 31-12 loss to Texas has unofficially given the verdict of the Wolverines playoff fate of the year. But Morre, as well as, the fans and veterans, chose to keep up hope as they felt most of Michigan’s mistakes were self-inflicted and they could move past it in the rest of the season. But with the same offensive woes continuing to sting, the Wolverines smashed their 2023 national champs glory with a playoff disqualification. 

Whether or not the potential loss of two quarterbacks through the transfer portal intensifies the existing offensive blocks for the Wolverines is subject to debate, but the coach continues to see the silver lining.

Sherrone Moore is still optimistic about the Wolverines’ QB woes

The 2025 QB recruitment drought makes all the talking among the Michigan fans. With Bryce Underwood’s status still up in the air and two potential de-commits, it’s hard to see any good in the foreseeable future. But Moore is Moore. And recently, there have been a lot of reports floating around that talk of Michigan’s growing interest in Underwood. In order to lure the 5-star, Michigan has offered Underwood an NIL package north of $5 million over the next three to four years. If the reports from ON3 are to be believed, then the offer is on par with the NIL package put together by LSU.

Moving on, the first-year coach at Ann Arbor has already surpassed a lot of controversy and has become well-seasoned to his tough luck. But the only thing that keeps him going through the mud is his unwavering positive outlook.

After four-star prospect Carter Smith withdrew his commitment, Moore left with zero strength in his QB squad. The J.J. McCarthy era is over for good. But Bryce Underwood can still be a hope. In a reflective perception of the messy situation, the coach said, it would be fine for Michigan. He believes that the recruits will stick to the atmosphere they have built. They have seen the positivity and the broad vision that prevails over the entire Michigan camp.  

It will be interesting to see if the No.1 prospect of the 2025 class, the present LSU commit will see what Moore expects him to see and dumps Brain Kelly for a weighed $4 million or not.
