Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore has indicated that the decision on who will start at quarterback for the Wolverines in the upcoming season will be based on performance and readiness, rather than adhering to a specific timeline. Moore emphasized that the ideal moment to name a starter is “when we think we have the guy who helps us win,” highlighting the importance of selecting the right player over meeting arbitrary deadlines.

The quarterback competition is currently between senior Davis Warren and junior Alex Orji. Moore has stated that both players will continue to receive equal practice opportunities, with the coaching staff closely monitoring their consistency, decision-making, and playmaking abilities. The plan is to make a decision after a few practices during the week leading up to the season opener, potentially informing the chosen quarterback by Thursday.
