Michigan QB Alex Orji Enters Transfer Portal After 2024 Season

Orji, a dual-threat quarterback, leaves Michigan following the arrival of top recruit Bryce Underwood and a challenging season as a starter.

Alex Orji, who started three games for Michigan in 2024, has entered the NCAA transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
Orji struggled as a passer during his time at Michigan, completing just 53.3% of his career passes for 148 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
Despite his passing limitations, Orji showcased strong rushing ability, accumulating 383 yards and four touchdowns on the ground during his career.
Michigan recently signed Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 quarterback recruit in the country, reportedly with significant NIL guarantees, further limiting Orji's opportunities at the program.
Orji is the second Michigan quarterback to enter the transfer portal this week, following Jayden Denegal, as the team transitions to a new offensive coordinator and quarterback lineup.
