Five-star true freshman Bryce Underwood is already receiving praise from new Michigan offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey.
“Bryce has come in and really done a nice job of assimilating himself into the team,” Lindsey said on Monday. “He’s all into our culture.”
Underwood, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2025 class, said last week that he definitely wants to be the starter this season. How Underwood fares from here until then will decide whether he’s QB1 or backing up Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene in Michigan’s season opener versus New Mexico.
While Lindsey doesn’t expect a starter to be named this spring, he’s using it as a time to see how Underwood and Michigan’s other quarterbacks can manage the huddle, how they fare in third-down and red-zone situations, and how they all connect with the team.
