Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood has already received his flowers as an elite quarterback, even without playing a single down of college football yet.
And given that he was the consensus no. 1 ranked player in the recruiting class of 2025, the preseason hype is obviously understandable.
And now, the quarterback is even receiving props from that graced the turf in Ann Arbor before him, namely former Wolverines quarterback Jack Tuttle, who retired from football last year due to injuries.
In a recent interview with Isaiah Hole, Tuttle held very high praise for the freshman quarterback, comparing him to current NFL quarterbacks such as Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix Jr.
“I’ve seen Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. That was my class. I’ve seen a lot of good football throwers, and I’ve been with Mike Penix at Indiana, obviously J.J. McCarthy here at Michigan,” said Tuttle. “I would say Bryce is at the top with the best of them and probably throws it better than a lot of those guys, which is scary to say.”
A scary statement indeed, considering that Trevor Lawrence was just about perfect during his time at Clemson, and Penix Jr. and McCarthy met each other in the national championship last year and are now both starters for their respective NFL teams.
If you could win with hype, Underwood could surely do it, but he first has to wait to see if he will even be the true starting quarterback in Sherrone Moore’s offense.
