LOOK: Bryce Underwood courtside at Pistons game, gets custom jersey

Hometown hero! #GoBlue

Oh, what it would be like to be not only the No. 1 recruit in the country, but to be received as a hometown hero.

Such is the case for Michigan football commit Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top recruit in 2025, regardless of position. Underwood was long committed to LSU but flipped to the hometown Wolverines on Nov. 21, just weeks before early signing day.

Underwood is set to sign with the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday at his high school, but on Tuesday, he made his way to Little Caesar’s Arena to check out the Detroit Pistons game vs. the Milwaukee Bucks. There, he sat courtside.

 

But that’s not all. The Pistons shared some of Underwood’s highlights and then announced him as the incoming Michigan football quarterback before presenting him with a Detroit Pistons jersey, customized with his name and number (19).

 

Underwood also spoke with FanDuel Sports Network and shared his thoughts about flipping from LSU to Michigan football.

“Honestly, very pleased with the decision that I made,” Underwood said. “Honestly, it was mainly a family thing, a business aspect. My family, I feel, will be more set in everything we have to do and make it easier on their half.”

Underwood says that he watched the Michigan win over Ohio State in Cancun and slyly smiled when asked about the result.

Today he’s an honorary Piston. Tomorrow? He’s officially a Wolverine.
