Michigan football may be bringing in 2025 five-star quarterback and No. 1 recruit in the class Bryce Underwood, but that doesn’t mean that the Wolverines will put all their hopes on the generational talent right out of the gates.
It’s been an open secret that Michigan will pursue an established quarterback in the transfer portal so that it doesn’t end up in a situation like it did this year. And USC quarterback Miller Moss was revealed to be set to enter the transfer portal when it opens next week.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Moss appears to be interested in the Wolverines, along with Auburn, Iowa, and Louisville.
The USC quarterback transfer will have plenty of options, but the key to Miller Moss’ success in college football is finding a landing spot that gives him space to develop and start. He’s expected to look at Michgan, Auburn and Iowa. He’s not expected to be the Tigers’ top choice. Sources also tell On3 that Louisville will be in the mix to land Moss, who was benched for backup quarterback Jayden Maiava late in the season. Moss will be an attractive name to programs hoping to find a plug-and-play type quarterback. He threw for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2024.
2024 marked Moss’ first year as the bona fide starter, but he — as mentioned above — was benched for Jayden Maiava. Moss does have leadership qualities as he was one of the Trojans’ three representatives in Indianapolis for Big Ten media days in July.
