Michigan coach Sherrone Moore seemed to suggest so on Monday, telling reporters ahead of the team's Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl matchup against Texas that he's looking at potentially adding a dedicated quarterbacks coach to the staff. "That's something we're definitely looking at, bringing in other people to help, bringing in another quarterback coach," Moore said. "Something we're working diligently on to get worked on." The comment comes as Underwood, the No. 1 ranked recruit in 2025, finished the regular season completing just 179 of his 293 passes for 2,229 yards (a 61.1 completion percentage), nine touchdowns and six interceptions. Just two of those TDs came in the final five games, and both were against Maryland. Offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey currently doubles as Michigan's quarterbacks coach, having signed a three-year deal last December…...

The 6-foot-11 forward had surgery to repair his torn ACL in his right knee during the offseason and is currently recovering. However, new details from the Kentucky camp indicate that Quaintance's rehab is progressing ahead of schedule.

In 1984, it's hard to overstate the chokehold Prince'and Purple Rain, both the film and the album'had on the world. This isn't hyperbole: the album produced two No. 1 pop singles (When Doves Cry" and Let's Go Crazy"), dominated the Billboard 200 for 24 straight weeks, and sold more than 25 million copies globally, becoming one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time.

Few teams could ask to be in a better position than New England, knowing that with a win, they clinch their first AFC East championship since 2019.

The Patriots have played 47 seasons behind other quarterbacks prior…...

Some believed he might even declare for the NFL Draft as a late-round or undrafted free agent. Instead, Craig is wisely choosing to elevate his profile by transferring to an FBS program where he can take advantage of NIL opportunities, face stronger competition, and polish his game before a complete NFL evaluation in 2026.
