How Optishot Athlete Davis Warren Became the Starting Quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines and Continues to Defy the Odds

Winning the Starting Job

This past Saturday, the Michigan Wolverines defeated Fresno State 30-10. At the helm of that winning effort was none other than OptiShot Golf athlete and defending national champion, Davis Warren. Completing 15 of his 25 passes, Warren threw for one touchdown and one interception in his first game as Michigan’s starting quarterback. The road to this moment, however, has been anything but easy for Davis, whose story of resilience is nothing short of inspiring.

Overcoming Leukemia: The Battle of His Life

Davis's journey to becoming the starting quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines is nothing short of extraordinary. As a high school standout, Warren displayed incredible talent and promise, but his path took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2019. His determination to overcome this life-threatening illness and continue pursuing his football dreams showcases the grit and resilience that would eventually lead him to the starting job at Michigan.

Optishot Golf’s Partnership with Davis Warren

Warren isn’t just a football talent, though. He’s also proven himself on the golf course. Recently, Davis took on OptiShot Golf pro, Ethan Bramble, in a thrilling 9-hole competition at Bandon Dunes, on our state-of-the-art OptiShot Galaxy simulator. The match was intense, and if you missed it, don’t worry—you can watch the full video here.

At OptiShot, we’re beyond proud to have Davis Warren as part of our family, and we can’t wait to see what he and the Wolverines achieve for the rest of the season! Keep an eye out—this is just the beginning of his incredible journey both on the field and on the golf course.
