Davis Warren named Stanford's starting quarterback for Week 0

Stanford's head coach Tavita Pritchard announced that Michigan transfer Davis Warren will start as quarterback against Hawaii in Week 0. Pritchard highlighted Warren's competitiveness, accuracy, and leadership during fall camp as key factors in his selection. The backup role may go to senior Dylan Rizk or freshman Michael Mitchell Jr. Rizk has experience from UCF, while Mitchell had a standout high school career. If changes are needed during the season, Rizk is expected to step in first, but Mitchell could play if the season is lost for bowl contention. Stanford aims for early-season success to secure a potential bowl appearance.
