Bryce Underwood Emerges as Michigan’s QB Frontrunner as Starter Decision Nears

Sherrone Moore has not named a starter ahead of Week 1.

Overview

  • Big Ten Network’s Dave Revsine reported Underwood took an overwhelming majority of first‑team snaps in camp, with veteran Mikey Keene described as limited.
  • Moore continues to hold an open competition and has indicated the call will come during game week, with Underwood, Keene, Jadyn Davis and Jake Garcia in the mix.
  • Teammates praise Underwood’s maturity and leadership, with captain Max Bredeson intentionally rooming with the freshman during camp to accelerate his growth.
  • Underwood delivered confident public goals in a BTN interview, saying “nobody’s seen a freshman like me,” and citing aspirations that include a national title and beating Ohio State.
  • Michigan’s offense is being reset under new coordinator Chip Lindsey, with transfer additions such as running back Justice Haynes and wideout Donaven McCulley after last season’s weak passing attack.
