Michigan QB Bryce Underwood Trains With Joe Burrow as Brady Smigiel Nears Return

Elite coaching for the starter pairs with healthier depth to steady Michigan's passing game.

Overview

  • Bryce Underwood was recently filmed training with quarterback coach Jordan Palmer alongside Bengals star Joe Burrow at the QB Summit.
  • After a 9–4 debut with 2,428 passing yards and uneven accuracy, Underwood enters year two with Kyle Whittingham praising his trajectory under new coordinator Jason Beck.
  • Freshman Brady Smigiel is progressing in his ACL rehab and threw before Michigan’s spring game in a sign he could strengthen the backup role.
  • Michigan added receivers from Utah and landed Texas transfer Jaime Ffrench Jr. to give Underwood a deeper and more experienced target group.
  • An MRI confirmed Smigiel’s left ACL tear in October that ended his high school career, and his recovery now shapes the Wolverines’ quarterback depth.
