When Michigan took on Alabama last month, no one really expected this team to win. The Wolverines had some of their best players sitting on the sidelines preparing for the NFL Draft, but they still found a way to win the game despite that, as well as starting quarterback Davis Warren exiting the game due to a torn ACL.
Wins over Ohio State and Alabama set the program up for optimism in 2025, as do the acquisitions of Mikey Keene and Bryce Underwood at the quarterback position. However, there is one glaring thing that did not take place all that much in 2024, and that’s getting freshman quarterback Jadyn Davis meaningful playing time to set himself up for the future.
