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 start, 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 for the job. Davis Warren is still recovering from the torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in last season's bowl win.
