Overview
- On Sunday, former Colorado State starter Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi committed to Michigan with one year of eligibility and is expected to back up Bryce Underwood.
- Fowler-Nicolosi brings 6,938 career passing yards and 38 touchdowns across 28 starts, leaving CSU in 2025 after being benched following coach Jay Norvell’s firing.
- The addition addresses thin depth after departures by Mikey Keene and Davis Warren, a portal entry by Jadyn Davis, and a room otherwise featuring Underwood, Chase Herbstreit, and two true freshmen.
- Kyle Whittingham is prioritizing pass protection after Underwood was sacked 20 times last season, hiring Jim Harding to lead the offensive line and pursuing interior help through the portal.
- Michigan’s portal push also includes Texas wideout Jaime Ffrench Jr., while On3 reports FCS interior lineman Luke Moise was expected to visit Sunday as the staff with OC Jason Beck and QB coach Koy Detmer takes shape.
