Vaunted prospect Bryce Underwood is set to be named Michigan's starting quarterback ahead of the Wolverines' Aug. 30 season opener against New Mexico , sources told CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. An official announcement is expected on Monday.

When the Wolverines flipped Underwood from LSU in November, it became a matter of when and not if he would get substantive playing time of his freshman season. The answer? Immediately.

Underwood will be the fourth true freshman quarterback to start a Michigan season opener and the first since Tate Forcier in 2009. The Belleville, Michigan, native beat out out Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene and last season's passing leader, Davis Warren , for the job. QB Season Opponent Result
