Quarterback Bryce Underwood, a five-star prospect and the consensus top overall player in the Class of 2025, announced on Saturday that he had committed to play for LSU. On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported the announcement.
The Michigan native, who plays for Belleville High School, was the MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year in 2022 and National Freshman of the Year in 2021, throwing for more than 5,600 yards and 76 touchdowns between the two seasons. He led his team to back-to-back Michigan Division I state titles in his first two years, and he led Belleville back to the title game in 2023, although his team 36-32 lost to Southfield A&T.
“Ahead of his years physically,” 247Sports recruiting analyst Allen Trieu said in his scouting report. “(He h)as a strong arm with the ability to make throws to any part of the field. Throws a good deep ball and can use touch to give his receivers a chance to go make plays on the ball.”
