Bryce Underwood's Support for Justice Haynes After Michigan Running Back's Shocking Transfer Decision
In a move that sent shockwaves through the college football community, star running back Justice Haynes has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. The news comes after Haynes had hinted at returning for another season of collegiate football. However, it appears that Underwood, Haynes' teammate and close friend on the Michigan Wolverines, is taking a high road.
Underwood, who played alongside Haynes during their freshman and sophomore seasons in Ann Arbor, took to Instagram to show his support for his departing teammate. By reposting Haynes' announcement and adding a simple yet heartfelt message - "Love 22" - Underwood made it clear that he values the time they spent together on the field.
Haynes, who had been considered one of the top running backs in college football, played only seven games last season due to injury. Despite this setback, he managed to put up impressive numbers, averaging 7.1 yards per carry and 122.4 yards per game. His exit from Michigan will undoubtedly be felt by the team's offense, which was limited to just 2,428 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions under quarterback Bryce Underwood.
Despite Haynes' departure, Michigan has already secured two key recruits for their backfield: Jordan Marshall and Taylor Tatum. The addition of these running backs will undoubtedly provide a boost to the team's offense and help fill the void left by Haynes' departure.

! He reposted Justice Haynes' transfer announcement on Instagram and added "Love 22" which is literally so sweet 
. I feel like they're still close even though Haynes is leaving the team. It's actually kinda inspiring to see him showing support for his teammate like that 
. But ugh, I'm gonna miss Justice Haynes on the field too 
. Hope he finds a new team where he can shine again 
️!
. feels like there's more to it than just a player leaving, you know? Bryce Underwood's all lovey-dovey with him on Instagram 
. Bryce showing support on Instagram is super sweet tho, that's what friends are for 
. And now Underwood is being super cool about the whole thing by supporting him on socials 
, that's really admirable of him. It shows that their friendship and bond went beyond just being teammates 
... I wonder if we'll ever get to see Justice play for another team? The young talent Michigan has coming in might help ease the transition though 
. And now, it's like the rug got pulled out from Underwood, who was probably expecting his teammate to stay in Ann Arbor.
... will they be able to step up and fill the void left by Haynes? Only time will tell!
. now the question is, will Michigan be able to fill the void left by Haynes? idk if those new recruits Jordan Marshall & Taylor Tatum can bring the same level of talent...
. Bryce Underwood's response is pretty cool tho 
, even if he didn't say much more than "Love 22" 
I'm kinda torn about this situation. On one hand, Justice Haynes is like totally being super cool about his decision to leave Michigan, even with Bryce Underwood showing him love on Instagram 
. That says a lot about their friendship, you know? 
. Can't say I blame him, but still, it's gonna be interesting to see how Underwood moves forward without his buddy on the team 
Underwood's support for Justice Haynes is nice, but it feels a bit staged to me. Like he's trying to keep his teammate's back without actually committing to him. The Wolverines have some big shoes to fill with Jordan Marshall and Taylor Tatum, hope they can step up the game 
️
