Fresno State transfer QB Mikey Keene commits to Michigan

BOOM! Former Fresno State QB Mikey Keene has committed to Michigan out of the transfer portal! The Wolverines bring in some competition for five-star Bryce Underwood. MORE:

The Michigan Wolverines acquired the commitment of Fresno State transfer portal quarterback Mikey Keene on Wednesday.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder will be entering his fifth year of college football. Throughout his career, he has 8,245 passing yards, 65 touchdowns and 28 interceptions with a 67.8 completion percentage.

This past season for the Bulldogs, Keene threw for 2,892 yards, 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 70.5 completion percentage. He also graded out very highly on Pro Football Focus, compiling a 75.9 overall offensive grade and a 78.6 passing grade.

Prior to his time in Fresno, Keene was at UCF for two years under a familiar name to Michigan fans — new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey. Under Lindsey in 2022, Keene threw for 647 yards, six touchdowns and only one interception with a 72.3 completion percentage in four games played.

Keene’s final year of eligibility will be a unique one as he battles with five-star true freshman Bryce Underwood to be Michigan’s QB1. There’s no question about it — this will be the hottest topic of the offseason for the Wolverines, so be prepared to hear about that leading up to the spring game, summer practices, and the start of the 2025 season.

Michigan is now up to seven portal commitments with the addition of Keene, who joins Indiana wide receiver Donaven McCulley, Cal Poly offensive lineman Brady Norton, Alabama defensive tackle Damon Payne Jr., Georgia linebacker Troy Bowles, and Arkansas defensive backs TJ and Tevis Metcalf.
