Michigan projected starting lineup and depth chart for ReliaQuest Bowl | 2024-25 College football season

Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, sets the stage for a marquee showdown between No. 11 Alabama and Michigan in the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl. This highly anticipated game kicks off on Tuesday at noon ET and will air on ESPN. Alabama enters as a heavy -15 favorite, with an over/under of 44.5.

Wolverines starting quarterback Davis Warren hasn't yet decided whether he'll enter the transfer portal. Due to the signing of the No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 class, freshman Bryce Underwood, Warren's future with the Wolverines may lead him to leave the program. But at the time of writing, he's likely to start for this game.

Let's take a look at Michigan's projected starting lineup and depth chart for ReliaQuest Bowl.
