Michigan football players excited about quarterback Alex Orji
When talking about the best Michigan football player heading into the 2024 season, it's likely Mason Graham or Will Johnson.
But when it comes to the most important player for Michigan football this season, it's Alex Orji. The former four-star quarterback is entering his junior season and while there is a quarterback competition looming that could drag into the season, Orji feels like the favorite.
Lots of Michigan football fans like his athleticism. We have seen his running ability in the past two seasons and he's sure to get more chances in 2024. Here's what Will Johnson had to say about the Michigan football quarterback according to Brock Heilig of Rivals and whether or not he likes the comparison of Orji to Alabama QB Jalen Milroe.
"That's a good comparison. ...," Johnson said. " I think Alex is even more of a physical freak. ... He can do things with his legs; he can make the big throws; he's exciting."
If you have played with Michigan football on EA Sports College Football 25 already, you can see what a weapon Orji is running the fooball and hopefully, he will be just as dangerous for Michigan on the ground this season, in real life.

Michigan hasn't had a true running quarterback in while. That will be different but could be fun. J.J. McCarthy is a passer who can run. Orji is an athlete who can throw and if he learns how to manage the offense and can throw with accuracy, the sky is the limit for the Michigan football offense.
