Underwood was seen with a bit of a belly in recent weeks leading to speculation that he was out of shape during spring football practices.
Fans commented on the new look for the former Belleville High star on Saturday.
"Looking fat and lazy!" one fan said with two crying and laughing emojis.
"He has been lifting his NIL money while laughing at his haters," another said.
"Jake Garcia gonna start anyhow," another added of the former Pirates QB.
"Not everyone is Alex Orji cut," another added.
Michigan finished last season unranked despite two big wins over Ohio State and Alabama to end the season and now will hope to put together a football team capable of winning not just the big games at the end of the season, but big games throughout the season from Week 1 to the final game.

Tracce Ellis Ross jokingly calls out Barack Obama for 'failing her as a friend'
Durng her latest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Tracee Ellis Ross humorously scolded Barack Obama for not warning her about a doomed relationship. Tracee Ellis Ross didn't let a breakup slide—she called out her good friend, Barack Obama In a delightfully candid moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 14, 2025, Tracee Ellis Ross recounted a bite of self-awareness served with equal parts humor and friendship. Following a recent breakup, the actress—known for her introspective wit—ran into none other than former President Barack Obama. His remark? 'I could have told you that.' Ross's response? Quick and unapologetic: 'Well, you failed as a friend! Like, it was your job to say that before.' Friendship meets accountability Ross's playful rebuke reveals how she values honesty—even from friends as esteemed as the Obamas. She explained that she appreciates friends who 'nip it in the bud' when they see red flags in her relationships. That kind of truth-telling, she implies, is a real measure of friendship. Still their go-to for love advice? Rather than holding a grudge, Ross admitted that she still turns to Barack Obama for dating insight. In fact, she's even more aware now of one unclaimed advantage: she's never asked Michelle Obama to play matchmaker—something she laughs might be 'dumb,' but is now considering. Keeping It respectful—even in friendship Despite their closeness, Ross shared that she's maintained a kind of formal deference toward Michelle Obama—you know, 'Mrs. Obama.' This is a habit from how she was raised, and she's stuck with it, even after Michelle suggested she drop the formality. Dating dynamics and boundaries Ross's reflections add even more texture when seen alongside her past comments on love. On Michelle Obama's podcast IMO, Ross revealed her attraction to younger men—whom she finds more emotionally open. She explained that many men her age, raised in traditional structures, bring outdated ideas and dynamics into relationships that she's simply not interested in. A reality check—and an awesome bad date story As if to underscore the messiness of modern dating, Ross also shared a comically disastrous recent date: the guy plopped his phone up against his drink and spent the date watching a basketball game. Ross asked him, 'Who's playing?' He lifted a finger, as if to say, 'Don't let me miss it.' She quietly texted friends: 'This did not go well.' Yet, the guy still texts her—proof that not all bad dates are final. Solve the daily Crossword

Pirates call up Bubba Chandler, baseball's top pitching prospect
PITTSBRURGH (AP) — Baseball's top pitching prospect is getting called up to the majors. The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to promote 22-year-old right hander Bubba Chandler ahead of their game Friday against the Colorado Rockies, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the roster move was not yet official. Chandler will join a staff that already includes 2024 NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes. The Pirates are shuffling their pitching rotation after sending veteran left-hander Andrew Heaney to the bullpen last weekend. Chandler got off to a hot start in Triple-A this year but has stumbled lately and is currently 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA this year for Indianapolis. ___ AP MLB: Will Graves, The Associated Press
