Michigan quarterback Jadyn Davis plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Michigan redshirt freshman quarterback Jadyn Davis plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal after two seasons with the Wolverines, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Davis was a four-star recruit out of Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day School, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 5 overall prospect in the state, the No. 8 quarterback in the class and the No. 106 overall prospect in the class.

Once considered an elite prospect in his class, Davis came to Ann Arbor with high expectations.

But after seeing the field in only one game as a true freshman, he was passed over by 2025 No. 1 overall recruit Bryce Underwood. The former Five-Star Plus+ passer has started every game for the Wolverines this season and looks primed to be their quarterback of the future.

As for Davis, he saw action in three games over two seasons at Michigan, throwing two passes in reserve duty. He’ll enter the portal in January with three years of eligibility remaining.

Wolverines remaking their QB room

With Davis’ entry into the portal and the likely departure of backup Mikey Keene — either to graduation or the transfer portal — the Wolverines’ QB room will look very different next season.

Even Underwood’s status is still up in the air with the firing of head coach Sherrone Moore last week, and as Nakos previously reported, the former top recruit doesn’t have a buyout clause in his contract with Michigan.

Whether he stays or not will be a massive decision, but the depth behind him if he does is a major question mark. The Wolverines signed a pair of quarterbacks in this class — program legacy Tommy Carr and four-star Brady Smigiel — though neither are expected to be ready to see the field next season.

The Wolverines’ new coaching staff could bring in a veteran to back up Underwood, should he stick around in Ann Arbor.
