Overview

  • Bryce Underwood completed 12 of 25 passes for 187 yards, including an 88-yard touchdown, but also struggled with penalties and consistency during Michigan's spring game on April 19.
  • Head coach Sherrone Moore has yet to name a starting quarterback and plans to decide closer to the season opener, with Underwood competing against sophomore Jadyn Davis and injured transfer Mikey Keene.
  • Underwood faced public scrutiny over his conditioning after viral photos and commentary, prompting his camp and supporters, including former NFL player Taylor Lewan, to refute the claims.
  • Michigan is actively recruiting 2026 quarterback prospects and adding Chase Herbstreit for depth, signaling a long-term strategy to strengthen the quarterback room.
  • Underwood, who flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan with a record-setting NIL deal, is expected to earn over $15 million but aims to secure the starting role through performance.
