True freshman Bryce Underwood is expected to be named Michigan's starting quarterback, a source confirmed to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The other Michigan quarterbacks were informed Sunday that Underwood will be starting, a source said.

Underwood was ESPN's No. 1 overall recruit in this year's signing class, flipping his commitment from LSU to Michigan last November.

Underwood, from nearby Belleville, Michigan, beat out Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene and Davis Warren for the job. The 6-foot-4, 228-pound Underwood won two state championships with Belleville and won 38 straight games in high school.
