Incoming quarterback Bryce Underwood is arguably the most anticipated Michigan football recruit in program history.

Michigan QB Bryce Underwood wants to leave behind historic legacy

As if being the potential savior of Michigan football wasn’t enough pressure, Underwood is rumored to be on the cover of EA Sports College Football 26. However, the incoming freshman phenom has experience in the spotlight.

“With social media being a huge thing, there’s going to be tons of cameras out, I already know that,” Underwood said on the Rich Eisen Show Wednesday. “My whole life, high school, 7-on-7s, everything that I’ve been going through, it’s been cameras out. It’s just another big step that’s about to happen, and that’s going to kick-off my legacy.”

As for what legacy he’d like to leave behind in the maize and blue, Underwood kept it short and simple.

“A couple Heismans and at least one natty,” he said.
