Jack Tuttle offers the Michigan football team an additional quarterback option.
Michigan football recently received news of another quarterback joining the competition for the upcoming spring season. On Saturday, Jack Tuttle announced his decision to return for another season, providing the Wolverines with additional depth at the quarterback position.
Tuttle, who transferred to Michigan before the 2023 season from Indiana, secured a seventh season, granting him eligibility for the upcoming year. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 212 pounds, Tuttle has a four-year career under his belt and was previously a four-star recruit.
Throughout his career, Tuttle has attempted 199 passes, resulting in five touchdowns and six interceptions. Despite not fully realizing the potential of his recruiting ranking, he served as one of Michigan football’s backup quarterbacks last season. In limited playing time, Tuttle showcased his effectiveness by completing 15 of 17 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown.
While Tuttle faces competition from other quarterbacks like Alex Orji, Jayden Denegal, and Davis Warren, his return adds experience and depth to the quarterback roster. Although the ideal scenario would involve the emergence of a starting-caliber player from the transfer portal or a freshman like QB signee Jadyn Davis, Tuttle’s veteran presence contributes positively to the team. His familiarity with the offensive system, coaching interest, and willingness to assist younger quarterbacks make his return valuable, even if he doesn’t secure a starting role.
While the likelihood of Tuttle starting next season is remote, his presence strengthens the quarterback room, benefiting the team regardless of his specific role.
