Kirk Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback, is a regular on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and an analyst on Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football.” His son’s decision to play for Michigan adds another aspect to a rivalry that only grew more heated during the Wolverines’ four-game winning streak against Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.

Michigan’s roster is in the midst of a significant transition, particularly at quarterback. Instead of the 85 scholarship limit, schools will have a maximum of 105 scholarships next season, with the ability to distribute scholarships and revenue as they see fit.

It’s unclear how many quarterbacks Michigan will carry under that 105-player limit, but the depth chart will likely change with Underwood’s arrival. Starting quarterback Davis Warren is a senior with a redshirt year available, and backup Alex Orji is a junior. Jadyn Davis, the top quarterback in Michigan’s 2024 class, is redshirting this year and appeared in one game.

Michigan is also looking for a new offensive coordinator after firing Kirk Campbell last week.
