ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan's offseason quarterback competition emerged with a surprise winner as Davis Warren, a former walk-on and cancer survivor, will start Saturday's opener for the defending national champions against Fresno State.

Head coach Sherrone Moore confirmed Warren as the starter on the team's radio show, citing his impressive completion percentage during camp.

Warren, a senior from Los Angeles, had been competing with junior Alex Orji for the starting job in recent weeks. Orji also is likely to play against Fresno State. Seventh-year senior Jack Tuttle also had been in contention until an injury during camp.
