Michigan’s Bryan Underwood Debuts in Maize vs. Blue Game This Weekend

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Quarterback Bryce Underwood is set to make his much-anticipated debut at Michigan Stadium this Saturday during the Maize vs. Blue Game, an annual event showcasing the Wolverines’ football talent. Underwood, who is rated as a consensus five-star recruit and the top prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, switched his commitment from LSU to Michigan last November. He joins a competitive roster that includes Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene and former four-star recruit Jaydn Davis in the race for the starting quarterback position.

The Wolverines, under the leadership of head coach Sherrone Moore, experienced offensive struggles during the previous season, with inconsistent quarterback performances contributing to the challenges. Nevertheless, Michigan concluded the 2024 season on a high note by defeating Ohio State for the fourth consecutive time and finishing strong with a victory over Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

This spring’s Maize vs. Blue Game holds added significance as Michigan aims to maintain the momentum heading into the 2025 season, where they hope to reestablish themselves as contenders for the national title. Fans will have the opportunity to view the game, which begins at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, April 19. However, the event will not be broadcast live; instead, it will air the following Sunday, April 27, at 11 a.m. ET on the Big Ten Network.

For those eager to catch the contest, the tape-delay broadcast will be available for streaming, with options offering free trials for new subscribers. Although the Wolverines have not disclosed team rosters for the game yet, various Michigan players are anticipated to showcase their skills.

This year’s Maize vs. Blue Game serves as a preparatory platform, solidifying the foundation for the team ahead of their 2025 schedule. The lineup features critical matchups, including season opening contests against New Mexico and a significant game against Ohio State in late November.

As the game approaches, excitement builds among fans eager to see how Underwood and his competitors perform on the field. Saturday’s showcase will not only provide insight into the team’s strategy but will also lay important groundwork for a season filled with high expectations and aspirations.
