SAD NEWS: Michigan Wolverines announced that Blake Corum is leaving immediately after facing…

There is considerable talent to replace from Michigan’s national championship team, and the starting point is quarterback. J.J. McCarthy, the Big Ten’s Quarterback of the Year who was 27-1 the last two seasons and is now preparing for the NFL Draft.

The task of replacing him falls, in part, to Kirk Campbell, Michigan’s new offensive coordinator who also will coach quarterbacks for a second straight season.

Campbell was an offensive analyst in 2022 at Michigan and has quickly made the jump to offensive coordinator replacing Sherrone Moore, who is now the head coach.

Campbell appeared in the latest episode of Michigan’s “In the Trenches” podcast with host Jon Jansen that posted Wednesday, which happens to be National Signing Day.

It was uneventful for Michigan considering 27 players joined the 2024 class during the early signing period in December.

Among those freshmen is four-star quarterback Jadyn Davis (Providence Day School, Charlotte, North Carolina), who enrolled early and also took part in the Wolverines’ postseason run, joining the team for the Rose Bowl national semifinal and the national title game and participated in practices.

The quarterback competition will begin in spring practice with Alex Orji, Jayden Denegal, Davis Warren and Davis among the participants.

Everybody’s No. 1, and we’ll see who comes out on top,” Campbell said on the podcast. “I’m not at a place to dictate who’s definitely going to get the first snap.

That will probably be dictated through some small offseason workouts here that we’ll have before we ever get out to the spring practice. But right now I don’t know who that will be.

Somebody’s going to have to take that first snap come spring.
