Michigan’s upset over Alabama was straight out of a Zack Snyder movie—more like Batman outsmarting Darkseid. Grit, heart, and a long-term plan—that’s the Wolverine way. And now, the hype train is rolling. After an 8-win season, this Michigan team is hungry. They’re reloading with Bryce Underwood, the crown jewel of their recruiting class. They basically sold their souls to land this kid, and it’s paying off. Underwood isn’t just the starting QB—he’s a leader who backs top talent, and Bryce has his eye on a favorite he thinks will be Michigan’s next big star.

Well, getting a nod from Bryce Underwood? That’s a flex on its own. We’re talking about the No. 1 QB prospect who led Belleville to its first-ever unbeaten season in 2023. This dude’s a walking win. Now, as Bryce gears up for his next chapter, he’s giving props to future Michigan stars too. One standout? Westside Cubs defensive line Tailor Thomas, who’s already on Michigan’s radar.

When the future GOAT is hyping you up, you know you’re the real deal. Bryce Underwood shared a story praising Tailor. “I promise you, he is going to be a top 5 player in his class.” And get this, Tailor Thomas isn’t even in high school yet! What makes it even crazier is that the DL is a 2029 prospect. He’s the younger brother of Andre Thomas, who’s already crushing it at Central Michigan University.

It’s quite a big deal! Imagine no varsity football at all and still landing on the radar of top college programs. That’s impressive. No wonder Bryce Underwood couldn’t control himself from praising Tailor.

However, Tailor Thomas is not the only one who’s on the radar of Michigan; four more players are topping up the list. We have edge Kennard Smith, linebacker JJ Chevalier, quarterback Carter Riedel, and wide receiver Caleb Harris. All these players might be the future of Michigan. But for this year, Bryce Underwood is the future, and it looks quite impressive.

This 5-star quarterback is a powerhouse of strength and agility. Plus, let’s not get started on his achievements. As a freshman at Belleville, Bryce Underwood threw for 2,88 yards and 39 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He also led his team to a perfect season with a 14-0 record and a state title in 2022. Now you can understand why Michigan went head over heels for this guy. But it looks like his craze is fading with a new wave of change.

Tension arises for Bryce Underwood

Michigan Wolverines quarterback tension has remained a hot topic this season. From Alex Orji to Jack Tuttle, Sherrone Moore’s team has seen a vast variety of QBs. However, this misery finally met its sweet end with the recruitment of five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood. But now even that seems like an issue. There are some new developments surrounding the Wolverines that point toward Bryce having a not-so-good time at the camp.

We all know how desperately Michigan wanted to get Bryce Underwood and that they didn’t even care about the money involved. However, now it looks like even Underwood has to face some starting quarterback competition drama as Aaron McMann hit X, saying, “Amid all the Michigan QB talk today, HC Sherrone Moore said Davis Warren was “leaning” toward returning for a fifth year. And he emphatically said he wants him back.” Now it is true that Davis Warren is someone who kept the team rolling despite all the inconsistencies.

Yeah, 9 interceptions over 6 TDs isn’t pretty, but c’mon, what do you expect from a guy who wasn’t exactly well-equipped from day one? Now, Michigan might face some quarterback drama too, just like the JuJu vs. Kaidon showdown brewing with the Buffs. And hey, Bryce Underwood learning under Davis Warren sounds cool. But let’s just be real: when a team is dropping millions on you, outperforming the guy ahead of you isn’t just a goal; it’s the standard. Let’s see if Bryce can set that standard and give it his best shot this year or not!
