The Sherrone Moore scandal that sparked a college football frenzy Wednesday raised questions about what Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood will do with the transfer portal looming.

Underwood had a solid first season as the Wolverines’ quarterback. He threw for 2,229 yards and nine touchdowns and totaled 323 yards and five touchdowns. Michigan finished 9-3 and was scheduled to face the Texas Longhorns in the next Citrus Bowl.

Moore was fired from the program because athletic director Warde Manuel said he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. The former coach was later jailed as part of an “assault investigation” in Pittsfield, Michigan, police said.

As chaos unfolds in and around Ann Arbor, former LSU Tigers star defensive back Tyrann Mathieu wrote on social media that Underwood should consider transferring to his alma mater in the Bayou.

“Come home son @BryceUnderwood,” Mathieu wrote. “We are waiting and will accept you with open arms. FOREVER LSU.”

Underwood initially chose to commit to LSU before playing under Moore. The former head coach touted Underwood’s commitment at the time because “Michigan’s best players go to Michigan.”

It’s unclear what Underwood will do.
