Bryce Underwood's Recruiting Drama

TLDR: The race to secure five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood is reaching fever pitch as Michigan football intensifies its recruiting efforts, attempting to lure the top player in the 2025 class away from his commitment to LSU. Despite a strong push from Michigan, Underwood visited LSU recently for their game against Alabama, reaffirming his commitment to the Tigers. Recruiting experts suggest that Underwood’s expectation is to sign with LSU in a few weeks, dealing a potential blow to the Wolverines’ hopes. Michigan is rumored to be offering a significant NIL deal, possibly up to $10 million, in a last-ditch effort to sway the young star. As December 4th approaches, the Wolverines are hoping to change Underwood’s mind last minute.


In the competitive world of college football recruiting, few stories captivate fans as much as the pursuit of a top-ranked prospect. That’s exactly why all eyes are on Belleville High School quarterback Bryce Underwood, the number one player in the 2025 class according to scouting reports. Michigan is pulling out all the stops in their attempt to pry the five-star athlete away from LSU, where he is currently committed. This tug-of-war has become the talk of the town, with Underwood’s future standing as a crucial potential get for either powerhouse.

Last weekend, Underwood visited Baton Rouge, catching the Alabama-LSU game, which only solidified his leanings towards the Tigers. According to Rivals’ national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman, there is a prevailing belief that Underwood is on track to officially sign with LSU in the coming weeks. With this recent trip strengthening his commitment to LSU, Michigan’s chances might be dwindling. However, Wolverine fans hold onto hope that ongoing recruiting efforts could sway Underwood before he makes his final decision.

Despite the seemingly long odds, Michigan is reportedly making a significant financial offer through an NIL deal, allegedly approaching $10 million, in hopes of turning Underwood’s head. The stakes are high, as December 4 quickly approaches, marking the early signing period deadline. Michigan is keen on reversing his commitment before this date, aiming to land this phenomenal talent. With the clock ticking, it’s yet to be seen whether the Wolverines can successfully pull off this recruitment coup and have Underwood donning maize and blue next season.
