It felt like only a matter of time before the Michigan Wolverines started losing players to the NCAA transfer portal after head coach Sherrone Moore was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
The player most Wolverines fans immediately feared would leave was star five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, who flipped from LSU to Michigan last year in a last-minute decision thanks to a lucrative NIL offer from the school.

And while Underwood is reportedly still contemplating whether or not to stay depending who the school hires as Moore’s replacement, Michigan did lose a former top QB recruit to the transfer portal on Tuesday.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, former four-star signal-caller Jadyn Davis will be hitting the transfer portal when it opens on Jan. 2.

More News: Bryce Underwood-LSU Rumors Take Dramatic Turn
Davis, the No. 5 overall prospect in North Carolina, the No. 8-ranked quarterback, and the No. 106 overall recruit in the class of 2024 according to the Rivals industry ranking, attempted just two passes this season — one of which was intercepted — and he received nearly zero playing time after Underwood’s arrival.
The redshirt freshman saw the field just once as a true freshman in 2014. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Davis is the latest in a long line of high-profile QBs expected to hit the transfer portal. On Monday, former five-star passers Dylan Raiola (Nebraska) and DJ Lagway (Florida), plus four-stars Aidan Chiles (Michigan State), Brady Allen (Louisville), and Brendan Sorsby (Cincinnati) all did the same.
They join a loaded group of QBs who already announced their intention to hit the portal including including Sam Leavitt (Arizona State), Kenny Minchey (Notre Dame), Trey Owens (Texas), Isaac Wilson (Utah), and Ju’Juan Johnson (LSU).
