Michigan bolstered its quarterback depth chart via the transfer portal this offseason, adding a veteran player with starting experience in Colorado State transfer Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi.
The story so far
Fowler-Nicolosi was a three-star prospect in the class of 2022 and ranked as the No. 86 overall quarterback. He received offers from programs such as Pittsburgh, Nevada, Oregon State, and Toledo, but he would commit to Colorado State.
Fowler-Nicolosi made 28 starts for Colorado State and led the Mountain West in total offense in 2023 with 3,433 yards. His career totals include 6,938 passing yards, 38 touchdowns, 29 interceptions, a 60.2% completion rate, and six rushing touchdowns.
Fowler-Nicolosi entered the portal this offseason and committed to Michigan in January.
Outlook moving forward
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Fowler-Nicolosi was brought in to add experience and depth to the quarterback room. With Davis Warren, Jadyn Davis and Mikey Keene all transferring away from Michigan, Fowler-Nicolosi’s presence and prior starting experience are a positive.
Fowler-Nicolosi, 22, will have to work his way up to the depth chart. He didn’t participate in spring ball but will be with the team beginning in the summer term. Bryce Underwood is Michigan’s starting quarterback, and incoming freshman Tommy Carr is currently the backup after an impressive spring game performance. While Fowler-Nicolosi will get an opportunity to overtake Carr if he earns it, it would be a surprise to see him overtake him on the depth chart with all the positive buzz surrounding Carr at the onset of his collegiate career. Don’t be surprised if Fowler-Nicolosi and Carr both receive snaps in Week 1 against Western Michigan if the game becomes a blowout.
