Michigan QB Bryce Underwood reveals three goals for this season, what he's learned training with Joe Burrow

Michigan sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood, who threw for 2,428 yards and 11 touchdowns with 9 interceptions while completing 60.3% of his passes as a freshman starter in 2025, says he’s targeting a step up in 2026. On the Rich Eisen Show, the 6-foot-4, 228-pound Detroit native laid out three priorities: lead the team toward a national championship, become the best player and quarterback in the country, and be the best leader possible. Underwood emphasized that leadership for him will be more vocal than last year and that he’s been working on mental toughness, staying calm in the pocket, and trusting the playbook.
