Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood sidestepped a question about remarks from coach Kyle Whittingham that seemingly cast doubt on his job security under center.

Michigan football’s one time 5-star phenom is facing a prove-it moment in his sophomore campaign, with his future draft prospects fully on the line.

Bryce Underwood’s difficult start to the 2026 season has already led to speculation about his future at Michigan. The sophomore quarterback helped the Wolverines avoid a shocking upset against Western Michigan by throwing a 47-yard Hail Mary touchdown as time expired after officials restored one second to the clock following a replay review.

"Since it was announced that we'd be going to Michigan, it's something that gets the emotions going," Oklahoma coach Brent Venables said.
