Michigan's Bryce Underwood faces receiver issues heading into 2026 season
Summary

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood struggled with his completion percentage during his freshman season, aided poorly by receivers who dropped 29 passes. With key transfers like Semaj Morgan moving on and new targets joining the squad, optimism exists for improved performance in 2026. Underwood’s potential growth hinges on receivers making more catches and adapting to a new spread offense under offensive coordinator Jason Beck. Andrew Marsh, who had a breakout season and did not record any drops, is expected to be Underwood's primary target moving forward.
