Former Michigan QB Davis Warren named Stanford’s starter

Tampa, FL - December 31, 2024 - Former Michigan quarterback Davis Warren has been named the starting quarterback for Stanford Cardinal, according to a report from Icon Sportswire. Warren started nine games at QB for Michigan, tallying a 6-3 record, but his performance was marred by a high number of interceptions, resulting in only seven passing touchdowns.

Despite a lackluster tenure with the Wolverines, Warren now has the opportunity to don the blue and gold for Stanford. In a statement, Stanford head coach Tavita Pritchard praised Warren's dedication and leadership, expressing excitement for his future with the Cardinal. Warren's first game will be against Hawaii, with a much more challenging matchup against the Miami Hurricanes looming on the horizon - a team that featured in the national championship last season.

Warren, 24, is making his sixth collegiate season and the selection as a Power Five school's starting quarterback is somewhat surprising. As he prepares to take the field, it remains to be seen whether this will be Warren's most successful season yet or if his stint as a starter at Stanford is merely a short-lived exercise.
