Ex-LSU star implores Michigan star to transfer amid Sherrone Moore controversy

Todd Piro reports on the University of Michigan's dismissal of head football coach Sherrone Moore amid claims of an inappropriate relationship following his arrest with an assault charge.

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 looming.

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 were set to play the Texas Longhorns in the upcoming Citrus Bowl.

Moore was dismissed from the program as athletic director Warde Manuel said he engaged in an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer. The former coach was then jailed amid an "assault investigation" in Pittsfield, Michigan, police said.

With chaos occurring 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.
