In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, former Baylor quarterback Gerry Bohanon has signed a six-year contract with the University of Michigan. The deal, which will keep him with the Wolverines through 2031, is expected to elevate Michigan’s already formidable football program.

Bohanon, a dual-threat quarterback known for his poise and athleticism, made a name for himself during his time at Baylor, leading the Bears to a Big 12 Championship and a Sugar Bowl victory in 2021. His decision to transfer to Michigan came after a standout career in Waco, Texas, where he showed flashes of brilliance, especially as a playmaker both in the air and on the ground.

The Wolverines, coming off a strong season under head coach Jim Harbaugh, were in need of a quarterback who could provide stability and elevate the offense to new heights. Bohanon’s signing is seen as a major step toward solidifying Michigan’s national championship aspirations. The six-year deal, which includes performance-based incentives, will make him the centerpiece of the team for years to come.

While Michigan has traditionally relied on a strong defense and ground game, Bohanon’s signing signals a potential shift in the offensive philosophy, one that could focus more on a balanced attack with an emphasis on downfield passing.

Harbaugh expressed excitement about the addition of Bohanon, praising his leadership qualities and his ability to excel under pressure. “We believe Gerry is the perfect fit for our program, both as a player and as a leader on and off the field,” Harbaugh said in a statement.

The Wolverines’ faithful are eagerly awaiting Bohanon’s debut, with hopes that this new chapter will bring a return to college football’s elite ranks.
