On Monday, the news became official that true freshman Bryce Underwood had been named the starting quarterback for Michigan entering the 2025 season. It's no small achievement for the 18-year-old, who will become only the fourth true freshman in the program's lengthy history to start a season opener under center for the Wolverines.
In announcing the news to reporters, head coach Sherrone Moore explained his thinking behind the decision. He praised Underwood for seizing the opportunity but also attempted to set expectations accordingly for the young QB.
