Michigan quarterback Davis Warren is set to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. After a challenging season in 2025, during which he missed the entire year due to a knee injury, Warren is expected to receive a medical redshirt, leaving him with two additional years of eligibility.
A product of Loyola High School in Los Angeles, California, Warren did not attract any star ratings in the Rivals Industry Ranking, a composite metric reflecting assessments from major recruiting platforms. His previous season, in 2024, saw him record 1,199 passing yards alongside seven touchdowns, albeit with a total of nine interceptions. With the promising Bryce Underwood joining the program, Warren is looking to reinvent his college career elsewhere, perhaps seeking new opportunities for the 2026 season.
As the excitement around college football transfers continues to grow, fans can follow the latest movements through On3’s Transfer Portal wire, along with their social media channels on Instagram and Twitter.
In related news, the NCAA Division I Administrative Committee recently established the timeline for the one-time transfer rule, which was approved in early October. The upcoming transfer portal window for the 2025-26 college football season will open from January 2 to January 16. This window allows athletes on teams participating in the College Football Playoff an additional five days post their final game to enter the portal.
The updated rules indicate that in the event of a head coach’s dismissal, players will now have only 15 days to enter the portal, a reduction from the previous 30 days. However, they must also wait five days after a new coach is appointed before making a decision. Graduate transfers will also be limited to entering the portal starting January 2, coinciding with the new transfer window.
These rule changes are set to add intrigue to the college football landscape, ensuring the transfer portal remains a focal point for players and fans alike. As these transitions unfold, there is optimism that they will foster increased player mobility and new opportunities across the sport.
