Underwood’s early hype draws concern from analysts 

Michigan has a tough schedule to deal with heading to 2025. Despite Greg McElroy’s promising words about the team carrying the momentum from the past year, the schedule seems nothing but a gauntlet. The program faces significant challenges with games against Washington, Michigan State, and an early trip to Oklahoma. The one that will carry the load of a lot of eyes on him is undoubtedly Bryce Underwood.

James Yoder from Michigan Football Report pointed out concern, “I hope Underwood is everything he’s hyped up to be and takes over from day one—maybe even by practice five this spring. But we’ve all seen big-time recruits take time to develop, sometimes not making an impact until their second or third year. Underwood might be the most hyped and most highly anticipated recruit in Michigan football history.“

Underwood boasts a formidable arm, unparalleled athleticism, and impressive statistical achievements. He is equally loaded with the intangibles, like the underrated quality of a great team player who’s never afraid to ask questions and do better each day. Therefore, taming a beast like him for any esteemed opponent may seem impossible, but history has demonstrated numerous instances of potential being wasted.

So, there might be doubt, but the hope is bigger and better to hold on to for now.
