Sherrone Morre’s Wolverines did the unthinkable snagging of No. 1 quarterback Bryce Underwood right out of the LSU Tigers clench, which is not that simple. Someone played the recruiting chess quite efficiently. Well, thanks to Dave Portnoy and his NIL game, which surely proved that the Wolverines are not just here to mess around but to make an actual difference. Dave’s determination to “fix” the Wolverines was like hitting a royal flush. Even Julian Lewis couldn’t help but chime in with his mic-drop reaction, making fans lose their minds.
It looks like the $10.5 million NIL really worked out for Sherrone Moore, and now they finally have a trustworthy quarterback who will not need to be benched. Following this today, the owner of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, took to X and shared this news in the most humiliating way possible. It’s like if you hate us, we hate you more! Well, it’s quite justified with all the hate Michigan has been getting. Portnoy said, “Welcome to Michigan Bryce Underwood!!! And just like that, we’re back!” Even Julian Lewis chimed in on recruiting analyst Hayes Fawcett’s Instagram post, commenting, “It’s on.” The timing couldn’t have been better, as the highly sought-after 5-star QB flipped his commitment from the USC Trojans to the Colorado Buffs. Meanwhile, in Bryce Underwood’s flip from LSU to the Wolverines, it seems like Dave Portnoy may have played a role in swaying Underwood toward Michigan.

Well, the Michigan Wolverines have a special place in Portnoy’s heart, and this is not the first time he willingly got in to help the team. Earlier this season, Dave made a surprising statement that he is willing to pay around $1-3 million every year to make Michigan’s rooster land the top 10 quarterback prospects every year, and we all know what impact such additions have in the game. Moreover, flipping a player like Bryce Underwood called for some extra effort.
Amidst all the challenges the Michigan Wolverines have faced this season, Bryce Underwood’s commitment stands out as the most promising aspect. The team has been grappling with quarterback difficulties, leading to five losses and numerous turnovers in games. However, it seems that they have finally found a glimmer of hope for the upcoming year. This time, they are determined not to let this opportunity slip away.

Michigan Wolverines really got lucky this time. Pulling off a player like Bryce Underwood with such poor performance this season is nothing less than a miracle, and more so when you have ranked programs like LSU in competition. Well, whatever the scenario, Michigan finally has their first No. 1 recruit of this year, and since Rashan Gary in 2016, none were interested in joining the Wolverines. Sherrone Moore actually made a difference in the team, and this time it’s bigger than ever.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Bryce Underwood the savior Michigan Wolverines desperately needed to reclaim their glory?
Have an interesting take?
However, this was not an easy run. Sherrone Moore tried getting Bryce Underwood for their game against Oregon, but that didn’t happen. Not only that, even after offering an amount of $5 million, Underwood didn’t even pay attention to them. But as we say, you shine brighter when no one believes in you, and that’s what made a big change in Michigan’s team. Now that the team finally has Bryce, it looks like he is not only going to start playing right away but also going to make a notable impact in Moore’s army.
