Former Michigan quarterback Davis Warren is headed to the ACC next season.
Warren committed to join Stanford on Wednesday after entering the transfer portal, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Warren is expected to have two years of eligibility left, thanks in part to a medical redshirt he’s expected to receive.

Warren spent three seasons with the Wolverines, and was a backup to J.J. McCarthy during their national championship season in 2023. He started for the majority of the 2024 campaign, and threw for 1,199 yards with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Warren, however, tore his right ACL during the ReliaQuest Bowl in 2024. That kept him out for the entirety of last season. Freshman Bryce Underwood started last season in Warren’s place for the Wolverines, and he led the team to a 9-4 record. Underwood announced earlier this week that he planned to return to Michigan next season, too, despite the turmoil that hit the program in the wake of former head coach Sherrone Moore’s firing and arrest in December. The Wolverines have since hired former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham to replace him.
Stanford went just 4-8 last season, its second in the ACC. The Cardinal hired former quarterback, assistant coach and coordinator Tavita Pritchard as their next head coach in November. He replaced interim coach Frank Reich, who led the team for all of last season.

While Stanford has a long way to go to revive its football program — the Cardinal haven’t had a winning season since 2016, and haven’t won more than four games in a single season since 2018 — landing Warren in the transfer portal to lead the offense appears to be a very solid start for Pritchard.
