The post Sherrone Moore reveals timetable for naming Michigan football’s starting QB appeared first on ClutchPoints.

The entire college football world expects Bryce Underwood to be Michigan’s starting quarterback in 2025, but Sherrone Moore is not ready to commit to that just yet.

While the entire country expects Underwood to get the nod, Moore will not make an official announcement until the week leading into Michigan’s Week 1 matchup with New Mexico, according to 247 Sports’ Brice Marich. Underwood is the clear leader, but the Wolverines also have Fresno State transfer Mike Keene and former four-star prospect Jadyn Davis.

Even if it is not Underwood, Michigan expects a significant quarterback upgrade in 2025. The Wolverines bounced back-and-forth between Davis Warren, Alex Orji and Jack Tuttle in 2024, throwing just 1,678 passing yards as a team on the year. As a result, the Wolverines leaned heavily on their running back tandem of Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards and were as one-dimensional as a Power Five team could be.

Michigan is currently a 36-point favorite to beat New Mexico, suggesting multiple quarterbacks should see the field in Week 1. Assuming that the game goes the way Moore hopes, he will get a better gauge of the talent he has in the locker room between Underwood, Keene and Davis.

Bryce Underwood continues to lead Michigan’s quarterback room

While Sherrone Moore continues to be vague on Michigan’s quarterback room ahead of the 2025 college football season, the writing is already on the wall. If there were odds for the announcement, Bryce Underwood would be an overwhelming favorite to win the job.

Underwood has the least amount of experience of the group, but landed in Ann Arbor as one of the most-hyped prospects in program history. The terms of his $10 million NIL deal shook up the college football world and added more fuel to the ongoing debate.

Underwood has yet to prove himself on the field, but those in and around the team have done nothing but praise his development. The freshman enrolled early and is preparing for his second semester in the fall. He has impressed the coaching staff and his teammates on and off the field with his confidence, leadership, athleticism and maturity.

The prodigy will get one warm-up game of sorts against New Mexico before jumping into the fire in Week 2. Michigan will hit the road to face Oklahoma, Moore’s alma mater, on Sept. 6 in one of the top early-season heavyweight battles. The Sooners will begin the year ranked No. 18 in the preseason AP poll, four spots behind the Wolverines, who will debut at No. 14.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. –  The Providence College Athletics department raised $12.7 million in the fiscal year that concluded on June 30^th. This exceeds the previous record of $10.8 million generated in 2023-24. This figure represents cash raised and does not include pledges, commitments or contributions to the Friar Family Collective.

This milestone is highlighted by two $1 million gifts and record-breaking participation. This generosity from alumni, sponsors, parents, family and friends fuels the Providence College student-athlete experience and helps our teams compete for BIG EAST, Hockey East titles and national championships.

“Thanks to the unwavering support of the Friar Family—including our donors, alumni, partners, and fans—our momentum in revenue generation and ticket sales continues to drive our mission forward,” Athletic Director Steve Napolillo said. “These resources are vital as we compete for BIG EAST, Hockey East, and national championships. A special thank you to Father Sicard, our teammates, colleagues, dedicated coaches, staff and student-athletes. Their belief in and investment in Providence College are the foundation of our continued success.”

Additionally, Providence College Athletics achieved a standout year, generating $9.3 million in ticket revenue from men’s and women’s basketball, men’s ice hockey, and the signature Late Night Madness event—surpassing last year’s record of $8.5 million. Men’s basketball once again sold out its season ticket allotment at the Amica Mutual Pavilion and secured a strong 95-percent renewal rate for the 2025–26 season, with the waitlist now exceeding 1,800 seats. The women’s basketball program saw a 48-percent rise in fan attendance and hosted a game at the Amica Mutual Pavilion for the first time since 2010. Men’s ice hockey heads into the upcoming season boasting its largest season ticket holder base since 2016–17.

The Providence College ticket team was awarded the 2025 Ticket Team of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Ticket Sales & Operations (NAATSO). This honor recognizes institutions who have driven exceptional revenue growth, sparked innovation and championed collaboration in their departments setting an example across collegiate athletics.

“I’m incredibly proud of how our team shows up every day to serve our community,” Andrew Schoepfer, Associate AD of Revenue Generation and Business Intelligence said. “We have the best fans in the country, and we appreciate all the support they give our student- athletes. Being named NAATSO Ticket Team of the Year is a well-deserved honor and reflects the standard that our team strives to maintain, giving our fans the best experience. Ultimately, it is the hard work and talent of our Athletic Department that brings this all together creating a fantastic experience for our students, families, alumni, and the entire Friar community. It is also the growing revenue which allows us to make our commitment to athletic excellence.”

“We are incredibly grateful to all of the benefactors of Providence College Athletics, who, through their generosity, helped us accomplish this milestone,” Eric Burtchell ’13, Associate AD of External Relations/Major Gifts Officer said. “In the ever-changing landscape that is college athletics, we are fortunate to have so many passionate and committed donors who are helping elevate our student-athlete experience. Together, we will continue to bring Friartown to the next level.”

Kevin Fiala’s Friends’ Charity Game in Zurich raised funds for St. Gallen Children’s Hospital and youth hockey, featuring NHL stars vs. ZSC Lions.

Los Angeles Kings Left Winger Kevin Fiala brought NHL star power to Switzerland this summer, hosting the first-ever Fiala’s Friends charity game on Friday at the Swiss Live Arena in Zurich.

The event was a mix of elite-level hockey with a mission to give back, raising funds for the Children’s Hospital in St. Gallen as well as youth hockey programs for the ZSC Lions and EHC Uzwil.

The evening was an exhibition match featuring the ZSC Lions — one of Switzerland’s premier professional clubs — and a team of NHL players handpicked by Fiala.

Dubbed “Fiala’s Friends,” the team included several Switzerland-born NHL players, along with other elite professionals, giving fans in the area a rare chance to witness their global heroes skate together on local ice in a relaxed, though competitive, environment.

Along with the on-ice activity, the event featured fan interactive experiences like autograph sessions, photo sessions, and merchandise auctions, all of which contributed to the fundraising effort.

The organizers would like to make the Fiala’s Friends Charity Game a yearly tradition, creating a long-term relationship between the NHL and Swiss hockey and making a tangible impact in the community.

To Fiala, the night was more than hockey. It was a night of charity, friendship, and the sport that brought them all together — demonstrating that even off the ice in the off-season, the NHL’s best can still make big plays both on and off the ice.

Yale’s men’s hockey program will have a new look behind the bench this season.

Longtime coach Keith Allain announced his retirement on Friday after 18 seasons as head coach of the Bulldogs, who will begin the 2025-26 season on Nov. 2 at Dartmouth.

“It is with profound gratitude that I announce my retirement from Yale Hockey,” Allain said in a press release. “My wife, Mi, our three children and I have been truly blessed by our time with the Bulldogs. I want to thank each of my players, who inspired and challenged me to be at my best; the coaches and administrators who became like family as we worked toward a common goal; and our alumni and fans, whose unwavering support in both good times and bad made Ingalls Rink a true home for all of us. Serving as Yale’s head hockey coach has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Thank you.”

Since taking over as coach in 2006, Allain, 66, compiled a 282-254-54 (192-176-36 ECAC) record. Yale went 6-21-3 (5-14-3 ECAC) this past season.

Allain (Worcester, Mass.) helped guide the Bulldogs to six NCAA tournament appearances and a national championship in 2013, when Yale defeated cross-state rival Quinnipiac, 4-0. His staff in 2013 included the late Red Gendron (Boston, Mass.) and newly hired Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse (Canton, Mass.). It was the program’s first national championship appearance and its second Frozen Four appearance, the first of which came in 1952.
