With JJ McCarthy heading to the NFL Draft, the next Michigan football quarterback has some big shoes to fill. So far, it appears that a leading candidate to replace McCarthy at the helm is rising junior standout Alex Orji — a freak athlete for the Maize and Blue — who recently inked himself a new NIL deal after the Wolverines’ 2024 National Championship Game victory against Washington.
New NIL deal for Michigan football quarterback Alex Orji
We’re yet to see Alex Orji air it out in a game, though reports from inside Schembechler Hall imply that the rising
Junior quarterback has more than enough ability to achieve so. A new NIL contract was revealed for Orji following Michigan football’s 34-13 victory over Washington to win the national championship in Houston, Texas.
Leaf Trading Cards has announced that limited edition signed Alex Orji cards are on sale on their website through today, January 17. The cards, which had images of Orji along with Michigan’s catchphrase “BET,” were priced for less than $20 (USD) each.
In Ann Arbor, Alex Orji is regarded as an athletic freak. Depending on how things work out from here, he might be Michigan football’s next quarterback come fall. In any case, the younger Wolverines signing new NIL contracts is encouraging for the team, particularly given the current state of college football.
