Michigan HC Sherrone Moore gives criteria for naming starting QB

By Andrew Kulha  |   Jul 24, 2025 

Most seem to expect that former No. 1 overall recruit and true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood is going to be the starter for the Michigan Wolverines in 2025, but head coach Sherrone Moore is still not ready to make that decision.

In fact, at Big Ten Media Days, Moore was clear that a starting quarterback has not yet been named for the Wolverines.

"Before anyone asks, it’s an open competition,” Moore told the media.

Underwood has superstar potential, but, as mentioned, is a true freshman. Yes, he was a star at the high school level, but that doesn't necessarily mean that will all translate once the hits are for real at the college level, especially in the stacked Big Ten.

That's why Michigan went out and brought in two transfer quarterbacks this offseason in former East Carolina quarterback Jake Garcia and former Fresno State quarterback Mikey Keene.

They, as well, have never played Big Ten football and they'll never be confused for superstars in Ann Arbor, but they've at least thrown a touchdown at the college level.

Ultimately, talent is not going to be the final determining factor for Moore — at least here in fall camp.

It comes down to leadership for him.

"There is no starter. When they ‘have the team’ we’ll know we have our starter," Moore said.

If it comes down to pure talent alone, Underwood will likely be under center when the Wolverines open the season against New Mexico on Aug. 30. 

It is tough for a freshman quarterback to lead a football team, though, so it will be interesting to see which way Moore and his staff decide to go.

I mean, it would seem odd for the NCAA to call a press conference to announce minor sanctions, unless their doing it to grandstand with some sternly worded remarks against Michigan's conduct to show they're being tough will handing down a slap on the wrist.

Has this scandal been common? Why would anyone expect the most covered college sports scandal of the past half decade to not be handled on this level?

And, yes, for PSU. There were multiple PCs.

[Thamel] Sources tell me and @DanWetzel they'll also be a 10-year show-cause penalty for Jim Harbaugh and an 8-year show-cause penalty for Connor Stalions.

 Neither of them will ever coach in college again. Take THAT!

Also they’ll forfeit some postseason revenue and their coach will sit out a few meaningless games.

Ho hum.

61 year old multi-millionaire successful NFL head coach, who brought a national title back to his alma mater and will die a legend in Ann Arbor, won't be able to come back to college football, and neither will his gopher who no one was looking to hire anyway and is currently a HS OC.
