Bryce Underwood entered the offseason with massive expectations at Michigan — but coming out of spring camp, there are already growing questions surrounding the former five-star quarterback.

Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down the reports coming out of Ann Arbor, including concerns about Underwood’s development, inconsistency during spring practices, and what his performance could mean for Michigan heading into a brutal 2026 schedule.

The guys also discuss Michigan’s offensive outlook, pressure on the quarterback position, Tommy Carr generating buzz behind the scenes, and whether the Wolverines can realistically compete at a high level if Underwood doesn’t take a major step forward this season.

Is the concern around Michigan being overblown? Or are there legitimate warning signs already appearing this early in Bryce Underwood’s career?

This episode of Hit The Books dives into one of the biggest quarterback storylines in college football entering 2026.
