One incoming Michigan football transfer in the spotlight for the 2025 season is quarterback Mikey Keene. Keene began his collegiate career at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2021, stepping in as a true freshman starter due to an injury to Dillon Gabriel. He led UCF to a victory over Florida in the 2021 Gasparilla Bowl, throwing for 144 yards and a touchdown. After serving as a backup in 2022, Keene transferred to Fresno State, where he became the starting quarterback in 2023. In his debut for the Bulldogs, he threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns in a win against Purdue. He concluded the 2023 season with 2,976 passing yards and 24 touchdowns, earning the offensive MVP title in the New Mexico Bowl. In 2024, Keene faced Michigan in the season opener, recording 238 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Following the 2024 season, he entered the transfer portal and committed to Michigan on December 23, 2024, for his final year of eligibility. At Michigan, Keene will compete for the starting quarterback position against sophomore Jadyn Davis and incoming freshman Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top high school recruit.
