The Michigan Wolverines completed the season like a pro despite facing several problems along the way. As the season draws to an end, there is no saying whether the team’s star QB JJ McCarthy will stick around for the 2024 season. And now that the transfer portal is open, they’re rounding up the best players into their roster.
The interesting part of it is that a 5-star QB who is also a Michigan local is showing interest in being the next potential quarterback for the Wolverines. He was offered to join the school by Jim Harbaugh once before but ended up at Oregon before transitioning to UCLA. See what’s happening between Michigan and UCLA QB Dante Moore.

It will only be after Michigan completes its whole season that JJ McCarthy will be able to make a decision on whether to stay with the Wolverines. This time frame can stretch until either January 1 or January 8. But apparently, by then, Moore would have been able to decide his destiny.
Dante Moore wasn’t just a prospective recruit by Michigan when he first joined UCLA in 2023. In his debut season, he finished with 1,610 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The likelihood of him in Michigan comes from his history as a close player to the team that was coached under former Michigan QB Devin Gardner. He also played in CE Stars, which was started by ex-Michigan RB Chris Evans.
