Other players announced they would be leaving or decommitting from the program after the scandal involving Moore erupted in December. Players entering the transfer portal included starting right tackle Andrew Sprague and All-Big Ten safety Zeke Berry, although Berry later announced his return. Recruits to decommit include offensive lineman Bear McWhorter and tight end Matt Ludwig.

Underwood became the fourth true freshman to start at quarterback for college football's winningest program last season.

Underwood completed 60% of his throws for 2,428 yards with nine passing touchdowns and 11 interceptions, including three in the last 18 minutes of a 41-27 loss to Texas in the Citrus Bowl. He ran for 392 yards and six touchdowns, including a 77-yard performance with a score on the ground against the Longhorns.

He will now play under new Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham.
