Tweets Of The Day
TheWolverine.com’s Zach Libby caught up with Belleville (Mich.) High 2025 five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, who visited Michigan for the BBQ At The Big House in late July.
“Michigan wanted me there so bad so I had to show them love…It was a good visit,” Underwood said.
Underwood has visited Ann Arbor on numerous occasions, and he’s developed a strong connection with quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell.
Michigan junior quarterback J.J. McCarthy has been named to the watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award, handed out annually to college football’s best quarterback. McCarthy was a third-team All-Big Ten standout last season, when he threw for 2,719 yards and 22 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. McCarthy led the Maize and Blue to a 13-1 record, winning the most games in a single season in program history.
Yesterday marked 25 days until Michigan football. Running back Hassan Haskins became a legend by rushing for 5 touchdowns in the Wolverines’ 42-27 win over Ohio State in 2021. That marked Michigan’s first win over the arch rival Buckeyes since 2011.
Michigan junior running back Donovan Edwards made a bold statement on a podcast with PFF.
“I will go down as one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game,” Edwards proclaimed after being asked what onlookers should expect from him. “I’ll be up there with [former Chicago Bears running back] Walter Payton, [former Detroit Lions running back] Barry Sanders. I believe I will revolutionize the game and the position at running back, for how I run my routes, for how I play as a running back and how I can play at receiver, too.

“This is the perfect time for myself specifically, because the NFL wants running backs who can catch. If the NFL wants to guard a running back, good luck with that. I don’t care who you are. Good luck guarding me. I see all the stuff right now with how the running backs aren’t getting paid. I believe that I’ll get paid for how I play the game.”

Quote Of The Day
“I’m always a person who drives for the best and most resistance, but it’s been the most fun I’ve had in my entire life playing football right now. Everything’s just clear; everyone knows what’s going on, and it’s just things are effortless right now with the defense and the chemistry with the guys. I’ve been reading that defense for two, three years now, so it’s so much fun out there going against those guys.”
