Overview

  • On3 named Underwood to its 2025 Preseason True Freshman All‑American Team, slotting him as the top freshman quarterback.
  • Beats by Dre added Underwood to its 2025 Beats Elite class in a national NIL deal that includes custom Michigan‑branded headphones, and he is the program’s only true freshman selection.
  • Underwood marked his 18th birthday by distributing those custom Beats headphones to teammates after practice.
  • Coach Sherrone Moore has not announced a starter, though reporting portrays Underwood as the frontrunner over Jadyn Davis and transfer Mikey Keene, and he may make a call on Monday.
  • Underwood said he gained 15 pounds of muscle this summer to boost explosiveness, as Michigan also notes Moore will serve school‑imposed suspensions in games three and four following the NCAA case.
