Overview

  • Coach Moore has not named a starter and keeps true freshman Bryce Underwood, transfer Mikey Keene and redshirt freshman Jake Garcia in an open competition.
  • Fall camp includes intentional chaos drills designed to push quarterbacks beyond normal practice scenarios and gauge their composure.
  • Underwood’s prototypical 6-4, 230-pound frame and arm talent have earned high marks from PFF’s Dalton Wasserman and comparisons to Cam Newton and Vince Young.
  • Keene arrives with 39 college games under his belt and previous work with offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, offering veteran depth.
  • Securing a reliable quarterback is pivotal after Michigan’s 2024 passing game ranked 91st in Total QBR and 131st in yards per game.
