One of the biggest question marks facing Michigan football heading into the 2024 season is who will be the starting quarterback. There are plenty of candidates. With Jack Tuttle getting another year of eligibility, he’s in the mix along with Jayden Denegal, Alex Orji, Davis Warren, and incoming freshman Jadyn Davis. I would be surprised if Davis ended up as the starter. He was a top-100 recruit but probably needs a year of seasoning, which J.J. McCarthy got. Jayden Denegal and Alex Orji, who each signed as part of the 2022 class, have also gotten limited game reps,…

Here’s what you can take and y’all still be able to pay him max,'” Green said on Carmelo…

Depending on who you ask, the Pittsburgh Steelers are either quite a ways away or only a few key players short of making the Super Bowl.
