Under former HC Jim Harbaugh’s roster, star QB JJ McCarthy led the Michigan Wolverines to the National Championship victory over the Washington Huskies for the 2023 season. In his final year in Michigan, the NFL draft prospect secured a 72.3 completion percentage and recorded 2,991 yards and 22 TDs. But now that he’s leaving for the pro league, the big Michigan question remains — who will be the starting QB? Michigan currently has two promising quarterbacks, Davis Warren and Alex Orji, and one could be a potential starter. The Maize and Blue spring game allowed fans to decide who would be the better starting QB prospect between the two. But Sherrone Moore seems to be thinking outside the box about this QB situation. SHERRONE MOORE ENTERS AMBIGUOUS MODE AMID QB DILEMMA With Michigan completing their spring game, OC and QB coach Kirk Campbell said they may not be looking for QB prospects from the transfer portal. But what if an elite QB prospect is out there waiting to be snatched by teams trying to build a winning roster? Adding to the intrigue, Sherrone Moore replied [https://bluebyninety.com/sherrone-moore-has-interesting-comments-about-michigan-qb-battle/%C2%A0], “We’ll see,” when asked if they’re choosing a starting QB from their current roster or the portal. Sherrone Moore [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-12-at-2.33.42-PM.jpeg]Credit: Imago As previously stated, Warren and Orji are already the preferred starting QBs. During the spring game, Warren led the Maize team and threw two TDs with three completions over 35 yards. Meanwhile, Orgi started the Blue team going 12-for-18, resulting in a 20-yard rushing touchdown. As the game showcased, the talent is there but they still have room for improvement. And another comment from Sherrone Moore also gives rise to more curiosity. SHERRONE MOORE’S INTERESTING COMMENT ON JACK TUTTLE “He’s got the talent,” this is what Sherrone Moore said of Jack Tuttle. The former Indiana Hoosiers player may not be a big name on the Wolverines’ roster as of now because he only started a few games. He entered Michigan as the highest high school-ranked recruit only after Jadyn Davis. In 2023, Jack Tuttle completed 88 percent of his passes on 17 attempts. But he already had experience as a starter in the Big Ten when he was with the Hoosiers. Hopefully, Moore will be able to use this talent in the future. As of now, the QB situation remains a mystery as to whether it will be Warren, Orji, Tuttle, or someone from the portal.

Sherrone Moore deals more curiosity into the minds of Michigan fans with his ambiguous response about who will start as the quarterback.

The Michigan Wolverines compete in NCAA Men’s Basketball as a part of the <a href="https://bigten.org/standings.aspx?path=mbball">Big Ten Conference</a>. Some notable opponents from the conference include Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan State. They were founded in 1909.

Their nickname originates from Michigan being called the Wolverine state. There are multiple <a href="http://geo.msu.edu/extra/geogmich/wolves.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">theories</a> surrounding why they got that name. Some believe it was the native Indians who called them wolverines as an insult, when the people of Michigan took over their land. Yet others believe it was the Ohioans who gave them this nickname following their dispute in the 1830s.

Their <a href="https://1000logos.net/michigan-wolverines-logo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> is a simple yellow letter M. The wolverine appeared on their logo until 1987, when it was changed to the letter M with a banner that said Michigan. In 2012, this banner was dropped in an attempt to go minimalistic.

<h2>Who is the Athletic Director of the Wolverines?</h2>
The current athletic director of the Wolverines is <a href="https://mgoblue.com/staff-directory/warde-manuel/40" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Warde Manuel</a>. He was appointed in 2016 on a five-year deal.

He is also an alumnus like Howard and played three years on the football team. Manuel had stints as an AD at Buffalo and Connecticut before he joined Michigan.
<h2>Achievements and Championships</h2>
The Michigan Wolverines were one of the most successful teams from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Three of their five NCAA tournament finals appearances came in that era, including their only title victory. They also won seven regular-season championships in that time period.

Last season, they tied Kansas for the largest jump in <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2019/12/02/michigan-basketball-top-25-poll/2585912001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AP Poll history</a>, when they went from unranked to #4 within a week.

They have won just one NCAA Division 1 title so far, with their victory coming in 1989.
<h2>Greatest NBA Players</h2>
The <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/colleges.fcgi?college=michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michigan Wolverines</a> are one of the top colleges when it comes to producing NBA level talent.

<img class="size-full wp-image-473903 aligncenter" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/michigan-mascot.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1509" />

There were a few unofficial mascots over the years: Whiskey, a terrier, and her daughter Brandy had a few halftime show appearances before being discontinued. Students made a costumed mascot called Willy the Wolverine, who ended up getting banned.
