Former Colorado State quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi has committed to Michigan, according to multiple reports on Sunday.

Fowler-Nicolosi passed for 6,938 yards and 38 touchdowns against 29 interceptions in four seasons with the Rams. The yardage is sixth most in Colorado State history and the TD passes tie for eighth.

But Fowler-Nicolosi also lost his starting gig after three outings in 2025. He completed 53.7% of his throws for 488 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

Fowler-Nicolosi gives Michigan an experienced backup behind sophomore-to-be Bryce Underwood. He also provides an option should Underwood be a surprise departure or get hurt during the 2026 season.

Fowler-Nicolosi had career bests of 3,460 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2023 but also tossed a Mountain West-high 16 interceptions that season.
