Former Michigan QB compares Bryce Underwood to current NFL stars
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.

Rodriguez and Naylor go deep early, Mariners hold off White Sox 8-6
SEATTLE — Julio Rodríguez hit a three-run homer during a five-run second inning for the Seattle Mariners as they beat the Chicago White Sox 8-6 on Wednesday night. Rodríguez — who on Sunday became the first player in major league history with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in each of his first four seasons — went deep on a hanging sweeper from starter Jonathan Cannon (4-9). Cal Raleigh drove in two runs with a single immediately before Rodríguez's homer. Seattle led 7-1 after two innings, thanks in part to Josh Naylor's two-run homer in the first. George Kirby (7-5) was effective for six innings, yielding two runs and five hits while striking out nine. Chicago made it competitive in the seventh after Kirby exited, scoring three runs off reliever Eduard Bazardo on homers from Mike Tauchman and Lenyn Sosa. Rodríguez scored on Eugenio Suárez's sacrifice fly in the bottom half to make it 8-5. All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz gave up a solo shot to Michael A. Taylor in the ninth before walking back-to-back batters. Muñoz settled in from there to lock down his 26th save. The White Sox loaded the bases against Kirby with two outs in the third, but Curtis Mead flied out. Naylor is the first player with three homers and eight steals in his first 12 games with a franchise since Bobby Brown for San Diego in 1983. White Sox right-hander Shane Smith (3-7, 4.25 ERA) starts Thursday afternoon against right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-4, 3.45) in the series finale. ___ AP MLB:
