Top Quarterback Recruit Bryce Underwood Flips Commitment to Michigan, Boosting 2025 Class
Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, the top recruit for the 2025 class, has officially flipped his commitment from LSU to the University of Michigan. This significant move comes just weeks before the early signing period and marks a pivotal moment for both players and programs involved.
Underwood, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound prospect from Belleville, Michigan, announced his decision via social media, expressing pride in representing his home state with the caption “Hometown Hero.” His switch not only solidifies his status as the highest-rated offensive recruit in Michigan history but also provides much-needed stability at the quarterback position for head coach Sherrone Moore, amid a challenging season.
Having been committed to LSU since January, Underwood was a linchpin for the Tigers’ recruiting class under coach Brian Kelly. However, Michigan’s ongoing communication with him, coupled with a competitive NIL package reported to be around $10 million over several seasons, proved persuasive in his decision. The Wolverines intensified their efforts after four-star quarterback Carter Smith decommitted last month, creating a vacancy that Underwood’s talent perfectly fills.
Underwood emerged on the national radar as a freshman, leading Belleville High School to successive state championships. He ends his high school career with an impressive record of 48 starts, throwing over 165 touchdowns and guiding Belleville to a solid playoff presence.
Underwood’s commitment is historic for Michigan, marking the first time the Wolverines have landed the No. 1 recruit since defensive tackle Rashan Gary in 2016. With this monumental signing, Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class currently ranks No. 14 nationally, and his addition is expected to rejuvenate a struggling offense that has faced challenges throughout the season.
If Underwood signs on December 4, he will enter the spring practices with the opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback position right away, potentially reshaping Michigan’s offensive trajectory moving forward.
