"Michigan freshman QB Chase Herbstreit will wear No. 15 to begin his career," reporter Clayton Sayfie wrote on X along with a fire emoji.

Herbstreit will compete for a spot in the pecking order within a crowded quarterback room that consists of an intriguing mix of youth and veterans.

Underwood is the expected starter, but Keene and Garcia are coming off starting seasons at other universities and could push for the starting job in the coming weeks.
