Top Recruit Bryce Underwood Flips to Michigan in $10 Million NIL Deal

Nov 21, 2024, 11:21 PM

Bryce Underwood, the nation's top recruit in the Class of 2025, has flipped his commitment from Louisiana State University (LSU) to the University of Michigan, confirming the decision on his Instagram account. Underwood, a five-star quarterback who had been committed to LSU since January, is now Michigan's highest-rated recruit in history. His decision comes two weeks before signing day and represents a significant recruiting victory for Michigan and head coach Sherrone Moore. The Wolverines reportedly secured Underwood with a multi-year Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) package worth $10 million. Underwood has drawn comparisons to NFL quarterbacks Vince Young, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson, and is expected to be a foundational piece for Michigan's future offense.
