Michigan transfer QB opportunity: TX 4* Hudson Card
Hudson Card, the backup quarterback to Quinn Ewers at Texas, announced he is entering the transfer portal. He has three years of eligibility remaining and is a redshirt sophomore. In the Class of 2020, he was the #59 national recruit in the 247 composite, and the #2 dual threat QB.
Michigan offered Card, but he chose to stay home and sign with Texas. He then got displaced when Quinn Ewers transferred from OSU to Texas and claimed the starting job this year.
Card comes out of the Austin-area Lake Travis program, which also produced Baker Mayfield, Garrett Wilson, and numerous other NFL players. Pete Thamel of Yahoo news dubbed Lake Travis "the country's top high school QB mill." (Incidentally, Lake Travis' Austin archrival, Westlake, produced Drew Brees, Nick Foles, and Cade Klubnik).
Given that we whiffed on Dante Moore, and with Cade transferring, we could use another starting-caliber QB to compete with Davis Warren for backup duties (and for the starting job when JJ departs for the NFL), why not take Card? According to ESPN, Card is "targeting a Power 5 school as his next destination, and he's prioritizing a winning program and the opportunity to develop."

The reason he may come to Michigan is because UT has Ewers and then Arch Manning coming in 2023 & we maybe have Davis coming in 2024. Card would likely get 1 year as the starter in year 2 of being in Harbaugh's system (assuming JJ goes to the NFL after next year).
Then he would battle a sophomore Davis and transfer again or stick around, get a Michigan degree and play a grad year somewhere else.

No thank you. He is a very physically limited QB and I’d rather roll the dice with Orji/someone on the roster at QB3.
