Report: Bryce Underwood Decommitment Rumors Force Michigan Insider to Break Silence as Suspended Sherrone Moore Learns His Fate
Tensions are running high in Ann Arbor as speculation surrounding five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood’s commitment status has thrown the Michigan football program into the national spotlight once again. With unconfirmed rumors swirling about a possible decommitment, one of Michigan’s most trusted insiders has broken their silence—just as suspended head coach Sherrone Moore awaits word on his future with the team.
Underwood, widely regarded as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class, committed to Michigan with much fanfare earlier this year. The Detroit native was seen as the crown jewel of the Wolverines’ recruiting efforts and a vital piece in continuing the program’s dominance following their 2023 national championship. However, recent developments, both on and off the field, have raised concerns about the stability of the program—and Underwood’s long-term commitment.
Fueling the uncertainty is the suspension of head coach Sherrone Moore, who took over the reins from Jim Harbaugh and was expected to be the long-term leader in Ann Arbor. Moore’s suspension—stemming from ongoing investigations related to NCAA violations—has cast a shadow over the direction of the program. While Michigan officials have remained tight-lipped about Moore’s status, insiders now say that a final decision is imminent.
With Moore’s future unresolved, rumors began circulating across social media and recruiting forums suggesting that Underwood might be reconsidering his decision. The speculation was strong enough to prompt a rare statement from a prominent Michigan recruiting insider, who addressed the chatter head-on.
“Let me be very clear—there has been no official indication from Bryce Underwood or his camp that he is decommitting,” the insider said during a live podcast on Monday night. “Yes, he’s aware of what’s happening with the coaching situation. But as of now, he’s still locked in. People need to stop feeding the panic.”
Even so, the buzz hasn’t died down. Rivals and fans alike are watching closely, aware that a decommitment from Underwood would send shockwaves through the college football landscape and potentially trigger a domino effect in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Meanwhile, Sherrone Moore’s fate could be a determining factor in what happens next. According to multiple sources within the athletic department, a final ruling on Moore’s status could come as early as this week. The outcome will not only affect current players and staff but may also weigh heavily on Underwood’s confidence in the program’s direction.
Michigan’s administration finds itself at a crossroads—attempting to preserve a historic recruiting class while managing the fallout of off-field controversies. For a fan base still riding high from national success, the uncertainty has been jarring.
