In a rollercoaster season for Michigan’s quarterback situation, Wolverines running back Donovan Edwards is stepping up to advocate for his teammate, Davis Warren. Following Michigan’s recent 24-17 victory over Michigan State, Edwards passionately defended Warren against media criticism, showcasing his role as a key leader on the team.
Initially named the starting quarterback at the season’s outset, Warren, a fourth-year junior who began as a walk-on, has faced significant challenges. Despite his potential, he struggled with interceptions early on, throwing six picks over ten quarters—some of which were not entirely his fault. This led head coach Sherrone Moore to make the tough decision to bench him in favor of Alex Orji.
While being sidelined was a setback for Warren, his teammates remained steadfast in their belief in him. After returning to the field and leading the Wolverines to victory against Michigan State, Warren’s determination has never been stronger. During the post-game press conference, Edwards seized the moment to address the doubts surrounding Warren.
“He’s shown time and time again that he overcomes adversity in his personal life and in the football world,” Edwards declared, expressing his admiration for Warren’s resilience. He concluded with a powerful message to the media: “Stop questioning him, please!”
Edwards’ unwavering support highlights the special qualities he sees in Warren. Despite earlier calls from fans and media for Orji, the team’s faith in Warren has remained unshakeable. Edwards’ remarks not only underscore his confidence in Warren but also serve as a rallying cry for unity within Michigan’s program as they aim high for the rest of the season.
