Sherrone Moore on Transfer Quarterbacks

Head coach Sherrone Moore spoke to the media on Wednesday and broke down what he’s looking for.

“There’s a lot of positions that we’re adding depth (to) and adding spots to help fill,” Moore said. “The specifics of that, I guess you guys will have to see, but we’re definitely looking for a quarterback in the portal, and we’ll go from there.”

It’ll be a unique situation for whichever quarterback decides to put on the winged helmet. They’ll have to compete with likely the best freshman in the country, and the Wolverines have yet to hire a new offensive coordinator. Moore said he will look for a player with traits specific to the Michigan culture. 

“Experience. A guy that is going to be a great leader and teammate, obviously has the ability to play,” Moore said. “Got to be a great fit. That’s going to be the number one piece.”
