Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2025, rescinded his commitment to LSU and announced Thursday that he will attend Michigan.
Underwood committed to LSU in early January but the Wolverines remain in contact with the Belleville, Mich. native. Less than two weeks before the start of the signing period, he made it official that he was headed to Ann Arbor during a social media video.
Speculation that Underwood might leave LSU for Michigan began after four-star quarterback Carter Smith decommitted from the Wolverines in late October.
When Underwood announced his original commitment to LSU on Jan. 6 in the Belleville High cafeteria, Michigan was one of three winners along with Alabama.
The 6-foot-4 Underwood won two state titles at Belleville, located about 20 miles east of Ann Arbor. He failed in both his junior and senior seasons.
Underwood’s high school career ended last Friday night when Belleville lost 35-21 to Novi Detroit Catholic Central in the Division I quarterfinals.
Underwood skipped Michigan in January two days before the Wolverines defeated Washington in the national championship game. At the time, there was much speculation that coach Jim Harbaugh would not return to Michigan.
Harbaugh actually left the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers and was replaced by offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, who is 5-5 this season.
