The 2024 Michigan football schedule begins August 31 when Fresno State visits the Big House to take on the defending champions. That means Michigan football camp is winding down and the Wolverines are shifting into game prep mode. The 2024 season will have a different feel with stars such as J.J McCarthy, Blake Corum and former head coach Jim Harbaugh now in the NFL. New head coach Sherrone Moore has the task of navigating one of the toughest schedules in the nation as the Wolverines compete in the revamped Big Ten.
The team at The Michigan Insider is providing on-the-ground updates on every development in camp, including insights from Sam Webb, Steve Lorenz, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga. The unrivaled insider team has the latest Michigan practice news and the inside scoop on everything going on in the Michigan football program. Additionally, The Michigan Insider features recruiting news and community message boards where fans can connect and get even more insider information.
The Michigan football quarterback battle has been one of the more intriguing ones in college football this fall. Michigan has a pair of steady hands in Jack Tuttle and Davis Warren, but much of the buzz surrounds sophomore quarterback Alex Orji. True freshman Jadyn Davis has also reportedly had a strong camp.
Orji, however, appears to bring the most upside and Michigan's 2024 outlook could depend on his development as a passer. Moore has not named any starter, but the staff at TMI believes there's a great chance he'll be leading the Wolverines this fall. "As a reported student of the game who is also blessed with physical gifts ... Orji has seized the opportunity in fall camp," Shaw said. Get more updates on the Michigan QB at The Michigan Insider .
Michigan fans are also eager to see the new-look defense under Martindale. The long-time NFL assistant has ties to the Harbaugh family after working with John Harbaugh and the Ravens from 2012-21. Now he takes over for Jesse Minter, who followed Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers.
One of the foundations of this unit will be the interior defensive line. Michigan has arguably the best defensive tackle duo in the country in Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant and Martindale is looking to keep them on the field more after the 2023 defense featured a big rotation. "I've been working on my conditioning, going more plays in a row," Grant told TMI. "Coach Wink has been stressing that with me and Mason because we have bigger and more competition early."
