When Jadyn Davis first committed to the Michigan football program, Wolverines fans were very excited to see him lead the team in the future. Davis was a four-star recruit and the #9 QB in the 2024 class.

Davis Warren was the starter and he had perhaps his best game yet. Alex Orji rode the bench, despite having started multiple games. Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 recruit in the country who had flipped from LSU to Michigan earlier in the week, was on hand (at least publicly) for the first time in nearly a year.

Michigan Wolverines footballhad up-and-down play at quarterback this season, but all eyes are on the position as the team prepares for the Dec. 31 ReliaQuest Bowl against Alabama. Five-star+ signee Bryce Underwood — the consensus No.

"I think for all those guys it's going to give a huge jump," Michigan football QB Davis Warren said Friday at ReliaQuest Bowl practice.

Davis was viewed as the heir apparent to J.J. McCarthy, a high-ranking prospect with a similar stature and demeanor to the quarterback who led the Wolverines to a pair of Big Ten championships and a national title as a starter.
