Underwood was promoted to head coach in January 2011. Before being promoted, Underwood primarily worked with the hitters and infielders while coaching first base. This past season in 2015, Underwood led his team to a CAC tournamnet appearance, ending the season 20-17. The Wolverines earned a career high 11 wins against conference competiors this season. Underwood has coached 3 of his 5 teams to at least .500 record, 4 CAC Tournament appearances, and 1 ECAC appearance.  With his first recruiting class at Wesley in 2013, the Wolverines finished 21-19 with CAC series victories against Frostburg, York (Pa.), and St. Mary's. In a CAC Tournament Game against Mary Washington, Wesley turned an impressive seven double plays, which was a NCAA Division III record and tied the NCAA All-Divisions record for double plays turned in a game. Following the season, senior battery mates Jordan Lozzi (P) and Corey Jefferson (C) were named All-CAC and Trevor Mears was named the conference's Rookie of the Year. Underwood's first season at the helm in 2012 was a banner year for the Wolverines as they won a program-record 31 games and hosted the ECAC South Tournament.  After defeating three nationally-ranked opponents on the season, Wesley had a CAC-leading five players earn All-Conference honors, including the program's first-ever CAC Player of the Year in Rob Benedict. Four players also earned All-Region honors, including Geoff Kimmel and DJ Keckler who set several Wesley single-season marks on the way.

A four-year starter at Delaware State University at first base, Underwood was one of the most prolific hitters in school history and was named first team All-MEAC in his three final seasons. He still holds the Hornets career record for hits (272), while ranking in the top three in home runs (50), runs batted in (224), runs scored (185), and extra base hits (107) while hitting .354.
