Sophomore wide receiver for Michigan. 2026: 3 games with a box-score line.
Buzz vs Tape
The wider college football conversation reads him warmer than his own fans do — a gap of 24.6 points in belief.
Anonymous Big Ten coaches say the quiet part out loud: Michigan Wolverines' hype is real, and their revamped roster could shake up the conference race. Can Bryce Underwood, Andrew Marsh, Jaime Ffrench, and J.J. Buchanan ignite an offensive…
Also worth knowing:
“>(like virtually all of the WR corps) First of all, through Andrew Marsh all things are possible so jot that down”
Andrew Marsh
Moves the chains on third down. Two seasons at Michigan, two different head coaches: Biff Poggi and Kyle Whittingham. 2025 brought the first one: Big Ten Freshman Player of the Week. One game to point at: 105 rec yds, 10 receptions against UTEP — Week 3, 2026.
