Kyle Whittingham’s No. 1 goal in his first offseason at Michigan, aside from stabilizing a program that desperately needed new leadership, was to set Bryce Underwood up for success in his sophomore season. He’s done that by retaining Andrew Marsh and adding former five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench, but on Sunday, Whittingham made a move to ensure that the Wolverines can have success without Underwood.
There’s no guarantee that Underwood stays healthy next season, or any season, and with that in mind, Michigan landed a commitment from Colorado State transfer Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi. The rising redshirt senior has thrown for nearly 7,000 yards over his career with two years of starting experience, but spent much of last season injured.
