Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 player in the 2025 class, made the shocking decision on Thursday afternoon to flip his commitment from LSU to Michigan just a few weeks ahead of early signing day on December 4, a decision that will send shockwaves throughout college football, including to Jedd Fisch’s Washington Huskies and the shores of Montlake.
Not only does this mean that he’ll more than likely accept the rumored $10.5 million NIL package the Wolverines offered him, but it also could mean that other recruits might choose to join him in Ann Arbor. One of those recruits is four-star offensive tackle and Washington commit Zac Stascausky, who is set to take an official visit to Michigan over the weekend.
Another is four-star wide receiver Andrew Marsh, who has been committed to the Wolverines since August but appeared to have been mulling that decision following their struggles through the air under coach Sherrone Moore in his first season at the helm.
Underwood’s commitment shows that Moore’s staff is willing to change its philosophy, as the Wolverines rank No. 121 in the nation in pass attempts this season and could lead to Marsh ultimately choosing to stick it out in Ann Arbor, despite taking an unofficial visit to Seattle to take in Washington’s 31-19 win over UCLA.
But Marsh wasn’t the only coveted receiver that Fisch’s coaching staff hosted over the weekend, as four-star prospect Donovan Olugbode, a Missouri commit, was also in attendance. Wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings appears intent on flipping one of the two prospects, who are both ranked inside 247Sports’ top 100 players in the 2025 class, and this move could signify a shift from Marsh to Olugbode.
With less than two weeks remaining before the early signing period opens, Fisch should be expected to make a push to make a few additions to his No. 18 recruiting class.
