he stampede has already begun in Ann Arbor. Head coach Sherrone Moore’sWolverines are beginning to suffer the consequences of a year of ups and downs that left them out of the playoffs, with the unexpected departure of two of their backup quarterbacks, who decided to leave in search of greener pastures.
Michigan has yet to fully recover from the sudden departure of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Despite having the stellar arm of quarterback Davis Warren, the Wolverines barely managed a record of seven wins and five losses (5-4 Big Ten).
As soon as the season ended, Denegal decided to return home to Southern California and committed to San Diego State. Denegal arrived at Michigan in 2023 as a three-star prospect. However, he saw very little action under center, going just 4-of-5 for 50 yards and a touchdown last season.
Orji, meanwhile, is still waiting for an offer. He did see some activity this season, filling in for Warren in two games with a record of 23 completions on 44 attempts, 148 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.
The departure of Denegal and Orjileaves Moore with only Warren in the quarterback room, as Jack Tuttle has already fulfilled his eligibility. Warren himself is also entering his senior year, forcing Michigan’s brass to begin the search for its next starter right now.
