Each offseason we roll out spring previews detailing key players on Michigan’s roster for the upcoming season. In all of the years of writing these articles, there’s never been one about a player like this — true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood.
The story so far
Underwood played high school football about 20 minutes east of the University of Michigan at Belleville High School. Underwood was the No. 1 player in the 2025 class and No. 1 quarterback and was once destined to play college football for LSU. Underwood was committed to LSU for over 300 days but would wind up flipping to Michigan in November in what is undoubtedly the most shocking and newsworthy flip of the NIL era.
