No. 1 2025 Overall Recruit Flips from SEC Rival to Big 10 Program
The No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2025, Bryce Underwood, has flipped his commitment from LSU to his hometown Michigan Wolverines.
"I'm home," Underwood told Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports.
Underwood's hometown of Belleville, Mi., is less than 30 minutes from Ann Arbor.
Underwood had been committed to the Tigers since January.
This comes less than six hours after JuJu Lewis committed to Colorado days after committing from USC.
LSU currently has no other quarterback commit for the 2025 recruiting cylce
Underwood confirmed his decision via his Instagram.
"Premier arm talent who is one of the more gifted high school quarterback prospects in recent years. Combination of arm strength, pocket feel and processing ability makes him the top quarterback in the 2025 cycle. Owns a wide-shouldered frame, measuring in at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds with 10-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Touts a big-time arm with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to all levels of the field. Has the ability to touch every area of the field with ease. Throws a very tight spiral that amplifies the velocity on the tail of his passes. Has shown advanced skill as a passer. Comfortable delivering over the middle of the field from within the pocket. Consistently sticks the ball on receivers against tight coverage. Shows the ability to layer passes with touch and high-level location, especially downfield." On3 wrote about Underwood.
On3 added that Underwood reminds them of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
A week ago, Michigan reportedly offered Underwood $10.5 million to flip his commitment. Underwood responded to the reports by seemingly taunting the Wolverines and their fanbase.
Michigan HC Sherrone Moore has found his QB1 of the future in Ann Arbor, while Brian Kelly and the Tigers are left in shock down in the Bayou.
