The Sherrone Moore scandal that sparked a frenzy in college football on Wednesday led to questions about what Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood will do with the opening of the transfer portal.
Underwood had a solid freshman season as the Wolverines’ quarterback. He threw for 2,229 yards and nine touchdowns and rushed for 323 yards and five touchdowns. Michigan finished 9-3 and was scheduled to play the Texas Longhorns in the upcoming Citrus Bowl.

Moore was dismissed from the program when athletic director Warde Manuel said he engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. The former coach was then jailed amid an “assault investigation” in Pittsfield, Michigan, police said.
As chaos erupted in and around Ann Arbor, former LSU Tigers star defensive back Tyrann Mathieu wrote on social media that Underwood should consider transferring to his alma mater in the Bayou.

“Come home son @BryceUnderwood,” Mathieu wrote. “We are waiting and will welcome you with open arms. FOREVER LSU.”
Underwood originally chose to commit to LSU before flipping to play under Moore. The former head coach touted Underwood’s commitment at the time as “the best players in Michigan go to Michigan.”
It’s unclear what Underwood will do.
