Michigan will be looking for a quarterback next season to replace 5th year senior Jake Rudock. While there are several candidates on the current roster – John O’Korn, Wilton Speight, Zach Gentry, Shane Morris, Brandon Peters and Alex Malzone – could Michigan look to go the grad-transfer option once again? According to Rivals.com, the answer is probably yes:

We’ve covered it before but BYU’s Taysom Hill is the obvious fifth-year candidate if he chooses to continue his football career. Hill, who was injured last season, would bring an athletic skill-set that no other quarterback on the roster currently possesses. Balas also notes two other quarterbacks -Kentucky’s Patrick Towles & Montana State’s Dakota Prukop – are on the Wolverines’ radar.
Jim Harbaugh and Michigan also showing interest in FCS transfer Dakota Prukop. He'll visit Oregon this weekend. Ducks are his No. 1.
