Sherrone Moore reveals where Michigan QB battle stands after spring game

One of the more fascinating quarterback battles in the country is underway in Ann Arbor. The battle for the honor of being Michigan’s starter is being waged between Bryce Underwood, Jadyn Davis and Mikey Keene.

While fans want an answer, Sherrone Moore doesn’t have one just yet. Following the team’s spring game, the Wolverines head coach did provide some clarity on the matter at least, stating that the quarterback battle will go on into fall camp, per Anthony Broome of The Wolverine.

Time will tell who is able to separate themselves, but a large contingent is high on Underwood. He was the top rated prospect in the Class of 2025, and much hyped coming into Michigan. He signed a massive NIL deal, and his On3 NIL Valuation is listed at $2.9 million, while his roster value is $2.5 million.

On the other hand, sophomore Jadyn Davis has been taking reps at quarterback after sitting back and learning last season, while Fresno State graduate transfer Mikey Keene is hoping to make an impact during his first year in Ann Arbor. However, he missed the spring with an injury.

It won’t be an easy decision for Sherrone Moore, as all three have their merits. Whether it’s Bryce Underwood, Jadyn Davis or Mikey Keene, Michigan will be hoping to get back to their winning ways in 2025.

Moreover, the aforementioned Bryce Underwood came to Michigan with an immense amount of fanfare, but his performance in Saturday’s spring game for the Wolverines left a lot to be desired. He was flustered throughout, but the young quarterback came through with a touchdown pass before the event came to a close.

Check out the video below, as Underwood tossed a touchdown on a double reverse. While it took some trickery, the quarterback still delivered a nice ball down the sidelines, allowing his receiver to get free and scamper to the end zone. That’s a positive, for sure.

All told, the touchdown pass was a positive sign, after the freshman quarterback had a rough first half. There were freshman struggles, as he went 7-of-15 passing for 52 yards and one interception. Not only that, Underwood had two delay of game penalties, a pass that was deflected and nearly picked on an out route and was 0-for-3 on deep balls, per Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press.

“Underwood absolutely ripped a pass to Joe Taylor that was pried out,” Garcia wrote on X, responding to another user. “Look, this dude can sling it. I’ve said that. But the stats are the stats. I didn’t create them, so nothing to be upset over.”

It’s early, so no need to panic if you’re a Michigan fan. There’s months to go before the season, especially if Underwood is indeed named the starter. Head coach Sherrone Moore isn’t worried, but we’ll see where he goes from here.
