A familiar face is coming to Ann Arbor, but with the potential of wearing maize and blue instead of the road whites.
The last time quarterback Mikey Keene came to The Big House, it was in Fresno State’s 30-10 loss to Michigan football in the 2024 season opener. But according to 247Sports’ Sam Webb and Matt Zenitz, Keene will be coming back to campus as a potential transfer portal target for the maize and blue.
Keene recently entered the portal, and according to the 247Sports duo, he will take a visit this weekend to campus to explore the opportunity.
Ex-Fresno State and UCF QB Mikey Keene is set to visit Michigan this weekend following his visit to Ole Miss, he tells me and @SamWebb77 for @CBSSports/@247Sports.

This isn’t completely out of nowhere. While Baylor quarterback Dequan Finn and Nevada signal caller Brendon Lewis are potential targets, Keene actually has familiarity with new Michigan offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey. He was on the UCF roster as a backup in 2022 when Lindsey was overseeing that offense.
In 2024, Keene played in 12 games and completed 70.5% of his passes for 2,892 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
