Impact Orji's 2024 season didn't go as planned. He wasn't able to secure the starting job for the Wolverines in his third season in Ann Arbor, and struggled as a passer, tossing for just 150 yards on 47 attempts. He threw three touchdowns, two interceptions and completed 53.2 percent of his passes while also rushing for 269 yards and a score. He'll have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Runnin' Rebels, where he'll look to secure the QB1 job in Vegas.

Scores in rivalry win Orji did not attempt a pass during Saturday's 24-17 win against Michigan State, logging six rushes for 64 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Though Orji took a backseat to fellow quarterback Davis Warren on the day, his contributions in the run game proved valuable for the Wolverines against their in-state rival. The junior quarterback found the end zone on a two-yard run in the third quarter, giving the Wolverines a 16-7 lead early in the second half. Warren's performance against the Spartans should provide him the opportunity to continue his starting role moving forward, but Orji may continue to see opportunities in a change-of-pace role as the season continues. His next opportunity will come when the Wolverines host Oregon this coming Saturday.

Benched against Huskies Orji completed 3 of 7 passes for 15 yards during Saturday's 27-17 defeat versus Washington.

Impact Orji left Saturday's game and was replaced by fellow quarterback Jack Tuttle following a rough start to the day. The junior quarterback has struggled to get things going through the air this season, as he has yet to cross the century mark with his arm and has thrown for less than 20 yards in four of the team's first six games. It remains to be seen who will start for the Wolverines moving forward, though the offense certainly seemed to move better with Tuttle under center. A road battle against Illinois awaits following Saturday's much-needed bye.
