Overview

  • On3 named Underwood the headliner of its 2025 Preseason True Freshman All-American team, reinforcing his status as the nation’s top incoming quarterback.
  • Beats by Dre added Underwood to its 2025 Beats Elite roster, placing him in national campaigns and providing custom Michigan-branded headphones that he gifted to teammates on his 18th birthday.
  • Moore said he could announce a starter Monday and highlighted Underwood’s talent and grasp of the offense; the 6-foot-4, 230-pound freshman said he added about 15 pounds of muscle this summer.
  • Underwood remains the reported frontrunner after competing with transfer Mikey Keene, redshirt freshman Jadyn Davis and veteran Jake Garcia, with No. 14 Michigan set to open Aug. 30 at home against New Mexico.
  • Michigan’s season prep continues under NCAA scrutiny, with Moore set to serve self-imposed suspensions in Games 3–4 and additional NCAA penalties announced as the school plans an appeal.
