Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top-ranked football prospect in the 2025 class, recently opened up about his decision to decommit from LSU and commit to the Michigan Wolverines. The 6-foot-4, 216-pound quarterback from Belleville, Michigan, made his first public comments on the flip during Tuesday night’s Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks game.
Underwood, who was accompanied by his four-star teammate and defensive back Elijah Dotson, is part of a highly touted recruiting class for Michigan. The duo, along with other top prospects, is expected to strengthen the Wolverines’ roster in the coming years.
In a brief interview with FanDuel Sports’ Johnny Kane, Underwood shared that he had just returned from a trip to Cancun before addressing his high-profile decision. He expressed excitement about joining Michigan, succinctly summarizing his reasoning in just eight words.
The Belleville High School star, who threw a standout performance against Clarkston earlier this season, currently holds the title of the nation’s top overall player across all positions. He ranks ahead of Ohio State’s 2025 quarterback commit, Tavien St. Clair.
When asked if he watched Michigan’s recent victory over Ohio State, Underwood nodded with a smile, acknowledging the significance of the Wolverines’ triumph in Columbus. He closed the interview with a spirited “Go Blue!”—cementing his enthusiasm for Michigan’s future.
