Michigan Thursday: Orji Update

I like Alex Orji but he is not a QB.  I don't know if he can catch but he would be a great TE or even a RB.  If I was an opposing team, I would think Orji was a beast coming off the bus.   


As you know, Alex decided to transfer to UNLV this off season and continue to improve the turnaround program with new head coach (who was a Michigan candidate at one point) Dan Mullen in his first year in Vegas. 

Mullen announced that Alex will share time at QB with UVA transfer Anthony Colandrea during their first game this weekend against Idaho State.  

“They have similarities, but they have differences in their games,” Mullen said on "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning" (h/t On3). “Both guys will play in Game 1 for us, for sure. It’s a long season. But I want to make sure on gameday that what I see in practice, they can do on the field in a game and see how people respond to that.”

  • Bryce has a new deal with Beats.  They really need to sell those custom Michigan Beats! Yes, he gifted a pair to each player. 
  • Former Michigan TE Luke Schoonmaker is in concussion protocol.
  • This is your yearly reminder that nobody cares what Urban Meyer says about anything or anybody. I wish he would just go coach Idaho State.
  • Detroit Cass Tech 2028 WR Mylan Griggs will visit for the opener.
