Michigan QB Bryce Underwood Trains With NFL Superstar

Palmer runs a company called QB Summit and has worked with many notable quarterbacks, including Josh Allen, Sam Darnold and Trevor Lawrence.

Many believe Underwood wasn’t properly developed under the Sherrone Moore coaching regime, as there was no dedicated quarterbacks coach.

Now, with new head coach Kyle Whittingham, Underwood will have a full-time QB coach, Koy Detmer. Underwood is a near lock for a sophomore jump this season. Mixing working with Palmer and a full-time QB coach during the season, we will see a new and improved Underwood in 2026.

Underwood showed flashes of potential as a true freshman, but with so much hype and attention out of high school, it was always going to be able to live up to that immediately.

Along with the coaching changes, Underwood will also have a host of offensive threats to utilize in the passing attack, led by top returner Andrew Marsh. The duo of Underwood and Marsh proved to be impressive in 2025, and with a full offseason together, they should be one of the best duos in the Big Ten.

Michigan also had two key additions through the transfer portal: Jaime Ffrench Jr. (Texas) and JJ Buchanan (Utah).

Buchanan followed Whittingham from the Utes. Last season, he accumulated over 400 receiving yards and five touchdowns and will look to continue to build on that production in Ann Arbor.
