Bryce Underwood began the Michigan high school football playoffs in dominant fashion, leading his team to a 68-0 win on Friday night.
LSU OC Joe Sloan was in attendance and Underwood tossed six touchdowns in the first half. Underwood led Belleville to state titles as a freshman and sophomore but fell just short last year. Before heading to college in January, Underwood would like to avenge last year’s loss.
Sloan’s visit comes amid rumors of Michigan building a significant NIL package in an attempt to flip Underwood from LSU. Underwood is the No. 1 overall player in the country and these types of recruitments aren’t over until pen meets paper.
Sloan was key in Underwood’s recruitment to LSU and the Tigers are banking on that relationship to seal the deal. It won’t be long before Underwood and Sloan meet again with Underwood set to visit LSU for the showdown with Alabama.
Underwood is the headlining piece of LSU’s class that ranks No. 3 in the country. He’s one of three five-stars, joining Harlem Berry and DJ Pickett.
