Since the 2018 season, Underwood built Snead State Baseball into one of the nation’s premier junior college programs.

The NJCAA has recognized Snead State Baseball as an All-Academic Team for eleven years.

Off the field, Underwood has been a community college representative on the ALABCA board and received the Alabama Community College Chancellor's Award (2014) for his commitment to his student-athletes' hard work and success. He and his team volunteer their time and efforts with the Miracle League of Albertville at Sand Mountain Park.
