Michigan football to start Davis Warren at QB vs. Michigan State: Report

After Cade McNamara entered the transfer portal and JJ McCarthy suffered an injury, Davis Warren is expected to start at quarterback for Michigan against Michigan State.

Warren, a redshirt freshman, has not attempted a pass in a game for the Wolverines.

According to a report from The Michigan Insider, Michigan football is expected to start Davis Warren at quarterback against Michigan State on Saturday.

Warren, a redshirt freshman, has not attempted a pass in a game for the Wolverines. He was a four-star recruit in the 2021 class and was ranked as the No. 10 pro-style quarterback in the country by 247Sports.

Warren's expected start comes after Cade McNamara entered the transfer portal last week and JJ McCarthy suffered an injury in the win over Illinois.

McCarthy is expected to miss the game against Michigan State, but the severity of his injury is unknown.

Warren will be making his first career start against a Michigan State team that is ranked No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The Spartans have a strong defense, but Warren will have the advantage of playing at home in front of a friendly crowd.

If Warren can play well against Michigan State, he could solidify his status as the Wolverines' starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

However, if he struggles, Michigan could be forced to turn to true freshman Alex Orji or walk-on Alan Bowman at quarterback.

Regardless of who starts at quarterback, the Wolverines will need to play their best game of the season to beat Michigan State.

The Spartans are a tough opponent, and they will be looking to spoil Michigan's Senior Day.

The game is scheduled to kick off at noon ET on Saturday, November 26th.
