It looks like there is going to be a quarterback competition in Ann Arbor as Michigan football has landed Fresno State transfer quarterback Mikey Keene.

The veteran quarterback announced on social media Monday that he has committed to the Wolverines, reposting a message from On3 reporter Hayes Fawcett as well as posting a photo of himself in a Michigan football uniform.

Keene is a name the Wolverines should be familiar with after they faced him last year in the first game of the season when he quarterbacked Fresno State. The Wolverines beat Fresno State, 30-10, and Keene completed 22 of 36 passes for 235 yards and one touchdown, but he did have two interceptions, including a costly pick-six from Will Johnson that sank any remaining chance that the Bulldogs had.

He’s a prolific passer who has racked up thousands of yards, first playing two years at UCF before spending two years at Fresno State. Keene played in 24 games over the last two years with Fresno State and played in 15 games at UCF, including 11 as a freshman.

In his career, he has thrown for 8,245 yards and 65 touchdowns and last year he led the Mountain West in completions, completion percentage, and total yards, throwing for 2,892 yards and leading Fresno State to a 6-6 record.

Keene will join a quarterback room that has gotten a lot of publicity this offseason after the Wolverines went above and beyond to sign Belleville’s Bryce Underwood to a massive Name, Image and Likeness package. Underwood is the nation’s No. 1 recruit and is the Wolverines’ long-term solution at the quarterback spot, but bringing in Keene gives Michigan short-term security.

Now, the Wolverines will add a veteran QB to a room that struggled mightily in 2024 and was one of the worst passing offenses in the country.
