For all of the hullabaloo surrounding Michigan football flipping five-star quarterback and No. 1 overall recruit in 2025, Bryce Underwood, the Wolverines had a prince that was promised, an heir apparent on the roster. He was just forgotten about, at least by the fanbase.
But former four-star Jadyn Davis (who was a five-star at the time of his commitment) is just starting to come on behind the scenes, offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell told Jon Jansen on the Inside Michigan Football radio show on Tuesday.
“Yeah, so the transition from high school to college is very, very vast, right, especially at the level that we’re trying to achieve, and success we’re trying to achieve at the University of Michigan,” Campbell said. “His development has been really good. His knowledge of the system is outstanding for him to go out there and be able to operate everything.
“Now it’s the speed of the game. Continue to speed up his feet, anticipating throws, protecting the ball a little bit better, but he’s doing a really good job. I’m excited for his future, and he has a bright one, and he’s a great kid. Comes from a great family, and just excited to have him part of the room.”
Davis made his Michigan football debut on Saturday late in the Northwestern game. However, his singular play was a handoff to senior running back Tavierre Dunlap, who took it to the house for a touchdown.
