QB Mikey Keene is transferring from Fresno State to Michigan

Michigan added a quarterback on Monday in former Fresno State passer Mikey Keene.

The Wolverines already have the top recruit in the country in quarterback Bryce Underwood, but Keene’s transfer also gives them a veteran option.

Keene, who began his career at UCF, has thrown for 8,245 yards and 65 touchdowns in his career. In 2024, the 5-foot-11 junior rushed for 2,892 yards and 18 touchdowns.

The Bulldogs had a chance to knock off the Wolverines in Ann Arbor this season, cutting the lead to 16-10 on Keene’s 16-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. But Michigan scored on the ensuing drive and Keene threw an interception on first-and-goal to Will Johnson, who returned the pick 86 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

The Wolverines have used three different quarterbacks this season, including Davis Warren in the 13-10 win over Ohio State to close the regular season.

Michigan (7-5) will face Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Year’s Eve (12 p.m. ET, ESPN).
