It's a cutworm. Some kind of moth caterpillar.
I know what a cutworm is, they're pretty common here in Michigan.

Spodoptera ornithogalli, a common pest species
It's a grub.
Will eventually turn into some type of beetle.
They spend their first part of a lifecycle living like this underground gaining calories before transforming.
