It was one of those crisp Michigan mornings that just seemed built for football stories. And it also happens to be the birthday of Bryce Underwood, the freshman quarterback who has quickly become one of the most talked-about players in college football. Bryce was the No. 1 overall high school recruit in the 2025 class is nothing short of remarkable. This year, on his birthday, he’s turning 18. And is officially stepping into adulthood while carrying huge expectations on his shoulders.
But the best surprise of all came today when Michigan announced the commitment of Savion Hiter, the No. 1 running back from the 2026 class, who picked the Wolverines over powerhouse programs like Tennessee, Georgia, and Ohio State. Hiter’s decision to join the team on the very day Bryce celebrates his birthday is almost poetic. And you better believe Bryce didn’t let that epic news slip away quietly. Nope, the moment Savion Hiter’s emotional Michigan hat pick-up clip dropped, Bryce jumped straight onto Instagram and blew up his stories. And, the caption was cheeky enough. “Happy birthday ta me, LETS GO SAY,” Bryce writes.
Talk about a birthday gift! Savion, a 5-star prospect at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, is expected to bring explosive playmaking ability to Michigan’s offense.
