Michigan backup QB Colin Hurley no longer on roster
Kyle Whittingham talks about the start of spring practices for Michigan football
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham sets expectations for his first season: “Bryce is our clear No. 1.”
Michigan backup quarterback Colin Hurley is no longer on the roster.
“Colin has departed the program,” Michigan football spokesman Dave Ablauf confirmed Tuesday.
Hurley, who has not yet played a game in college, transferred to the Wolverines from LSU. He participated in winter conditioning and spring practice, which is ongoing.
Head coach Kyle Whittingham had said Bryce Underwood, who started every game last season as a freshman, is the starting quarterback.
Whittingham also praised early enrolled freshman Tommy Carr when asked early in spring practice about who might be the backup.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, a graduate transfer from Colorado State, is expected to arrive in Ann Arbor this summer. He has started 27 games.
