    Alex Orji announes never to play in Michigan Wolverines

    Sherrone Moore explains why Michigan football publicly announced Alex Orji as QB starter

    All offseason long, Michigan football kept its quarterback battle tight to the chest.

    U-M coaches didn’t want to give away who would win the starting job headed into the season, senior Davis Warren or junior Alex Orji, and appeared to instruct players to keep the decision internal as long as possible.

    That decision, picking Warren, lasted three weeks. The senior from Los Angeles was benched in the third quarter of last week’s game against Arkansas State after he threw his third interception of the game.

    It was the sixth in just 11 quarters for Warren and ultimately head coach Sherrone Moore opted to bench him for Orji.

    Many expected Moore to stick to his usual refrain Monday — those who practice the best will play — but that’s not what happened.

    Instead, Moore, in the first month of his coaching tenure, announced the offense would make a switch and go with Orji on Saturday in the Big Ten opener for Michigan (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) against a conference newcomer, No. 12 USC (2-0, 0-0).

    Moore explained why he made such a declarative statement in advance of what could be a tipping point in the Wolverines’ 2024 season, speaking on WXYT-FM (97.1) on Wednesday morning with Jim Costa and co-host and Wolverines radio color commentator Jon Jansen.

    “For us, the players to see me announce it to everybody else, (and) understand the confidence I have in Alex,” Moore said. “I think it was important I did that. I just think it was an important thing for us to do as a program.”

    Moore said turnovers instigated the change, noting that as long as he has been in Ann Arbor, the No. 1 job offensive coaches have given quarterbacks is to take care of the ball. Orji, he said, did that when he entered in relief of Warren in the second half vs. Arkansas State and orchestrated a nine-play, 80-yard drive that featured eight run calls and one pass.

    Orji, named the most athletic quarterback in college football on The Athletic’s “freak list” this offseason, is seen as incredibly talented as a runner but limited as a passer. He has completed four of seven passes for 20 yards in his Michigan career — two of those completions (both this season) have gone for touchdowns.

    As a runner, Orji has 31 carries for 181 yards — an average of 5.8 yards per rush — and three TDs.

    When pressed on Orji’s ability to pass downfield, Moore said he feels “confident” he can do it, but added it’s about executing the play and putting his team in position to be successful.
