ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Former Michigan football walk-on and current starting quarterback Davis Warren hasn’t exactly received an abundance of accolades in his short career. But now he’s being shadowed by arguably the most notable quarterback in the country, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 recruiting class, Bryce Underwood.
