Michigan QB Bryce Underwood: 2028 Draft's Top Prospect?

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is emerging as a leading candidate for the 2028 NFL Draft. While projections made now should be viewed cautiously, Underwood is widely considered the top prospect at his position for that year's class.

As a freshman, Underwood demonstrated his potential by leading the Wolverines to a 9-4 record, despite less-than-stellar individual statistics like a 7.2 yards per attempt average. His natural gifts were recognized early, as he was ranked the number one recruit nationally for the 2025 class.

Underwood's commitment to Michigan was a major recruiting win for the program. His national profile is expected to significantly increase following his participation in the upcoming 2026 Big Ten Football Media Days in Chicago, where he will represent the team alongside two other Wolverines.
