Michigan football fans are rightfully excited about the start of the Bryce Underwood era, and a recent interview by the five-star quarterback will have them even more pumped about the freshman quarterback.
Underwood was the No. 1 ranked player overall in the 2025 recruiting class, according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. He was also ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and flipped his commitment to Michigan football after being committed to LSU.
After enrolling early, Underwood had a solid spring. He hasn't been named the starting quarterback yet, but he feels like the odds-on favorite to win the job pitted against veterans Mikey Keene and Jake Garcia.
He's a generational talent. Underwood talked to the Wolverine.com recently about his development since joining the Michigan football program, and fans will love what he had to say.
"I came in at 215. I weigh 230 right now. I feel like it’s made me more explosive. They help with our speed and everything like that, so I feel faster than I usually do," Underwood said via the Wolverine.
Bryce Underwood already bigger and stronger
Underwood has an incredible arm. He's got as much arm talent as any Michigan football quarterback I have ever seen.
However, one thing that's been overlooked about Underwood is his ability to run. He's a true dual-threat. On that note, Underwood has added 15 pounds since coming to Michigan. He also said he's faster, which should be a scary thought for Big Ten defenses.
Quarterbacks that can run are dangerous. You don't want Underwood to get hurt by running too much, but it can help him get his feet wet this season.
It can also make him the ultimate weapon.
