Of course, this is not a surprise for those who paid attention to the off -season of Michigan. Underwood was a historic field for the program as a n ° 1 player in the 2025 class, but he was told that he had to win the post at UM. He did exactly that when the fall camp spends the Wolverines match week.
“He has grown up every day since he was on campus,” said Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore last month at Big Ten Media Days. “He has been with us since December,” continues to do everything he can be, one, the best teammate he could be. Two, to be the best student he could be. And then, three, to be the best football player he could be and the quarter-tree he could be for our football team. It is the right way.
“He ensures that he attacks all the best way. And I have literally landed with him by calling me, asking me at what time he must be at the team meeting on Tuesday,” continued Moore. “So he wants to make sure he is on time and do everything correctly. He is a great teammate, a big child, a big young man. Jay and Beverly, his parents, have done exceptional work to raise him, but I consider that for all our students athletes in Michigan. ”
Moore teased the media a few weeks ago that he would name a starter before the first match and inform the team in advance. He also set the criteria he was going to take to win the position.
“Whatever the quarter-back starting, it is to increase the level of the team,” said Moore. “For [Underwood]For [sophomore] Jadyn DavisFor [graduate] Jake GarciaMikey Keene – To make sure they get into position that they are the best version of a quarter of a quarter of Michigan.

“He is incredibly gifted,” said Butt on BTN. “The ball jumps from his hand with high speed, but sometimes the quarter-rear launch a hard ball and it is difficult to catch. He launches with high speed, but it is always a very capable football.
“He can cover the whole terrain. There is no launch that Chip Lindsay will ask him that he cannot do. But it’s really the mental side and just walking … Max Bredesen moved me away and said:” What is the quality of our quarter-back there? There is no shortage of this guy. “So I think it speaks volumes, that he won the belief of his teammates.
“But it is not only Bryce. The wide receiver room should improve. The offensive line at this stage should improve. Chip Lindsay, with his experience, should improve. It is therefore all the other pieces around him that will unlock his potential.”
Underwood had a 50-4 sheet in his career at high school in Belleville, 20 minutes from the Michigan Stadium road. It was a global perspective n ° 1 of the wire wire and is the best rated signatory in the history of the program.
