Michigan Adds LSU QB After Near-Fatal Crash

The Michigan Wolverines football program has enhanced its quarterback room by acquiring Colin Hurley from the LSU transfer portal. This acquisition addresses the team's need for depth following several departures from the position during the offseason. Hurley's arrival adds a notable player to the competitive quarterback landscape in Ann Arbor.

Hurley, who had spent the last two seasons at LSU without appearing in a game, was notably involved in a single-car accident in January 2025. His family confirmed he was hospitalized following the incident, with reports indicating he was found unresponsive but breathing. He is now in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.

Originally a four-star recruit from Jacksonville, Florida, Hurley reclassified to the 2024 class and enrolled at LSU at age 16. He is anticipated to contend for the backup quarterback position, likely competing with Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, as Michigan aims to solidify its roster for the upcoming seasons.
