The Michigan Wolverines made one of the most surprising moves of the 2024-25 college football recruiting cycle as head coach Sherrone Moore added quarterback Chase Herbstreit, the son of former Ohio State player Kirk Herbstreit, to his 2025 recruiting class.

Herbstreit became part of a loaded QB class that included freshman sensation Bryce Underwood along with two transfers, Mikey Keene from Fresno State and Jake Garcia from East Carolina.

On Wednesday, news broke of an update regarding Chase Herbstreit that signaled the start of his Wolverines career in Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines announced player numbers, heights and weights as training camp began in Ann Arbor.

"Michigan freshman QB Chase Herbstreit will wear No. 15 to begin his career," reporter Clayton Sayfie wrote on X along with a fire emoji.

Herbstreit will compete to be in the mix for playing time with a stable full of quarterbacks that includes an intriguing mix of youth and veterans at the position.

Underwood is the expected starter, but Keene and Garcia are coming off of starting seasons at other universities and could push for the starting job in the coming weeks.

Herbstreit is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and hails from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.

He was listed as a three-star prospect by 247Sports.com prior to his commitment to the Wolverines and projects as a solid runner and passer who could become an integral part of the Wolverines' quarterback room this year and beyond.
