LSU 5-star QB commit Bryce Underwood recaps strong visit with the Tigers

LSU hosted by far its biggest recruiting weekend to date with the 2025 class over the past few days, as more than 20 top-100 prospects made their way to Baton Rouge.

The leader of the Tigers’ No. 1 overall recruiting class was also on campus — Five-Star Plus+ quarterback commit Bryce Underwood. Brian Kelly and his staff brought their QB commit not only to continue their efforts of recruiting him, but also to pair him up with wide receiver commit Dakorien Moore and top target Jaime Ffrench as well.

Underwood talked with Detroit-area site ‘The D Zone’ on Sunday after his visit and raved about his time back in the Bayou.

“I enjoyed it a lot,” he said. “I got to join a lot of the top players around the country and just recruit them, as well as me being there.”

LSU making a push for arguably its best class ever

Underwood and French led a long list of recruits in town over the weekend. Other notables include Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ LSU wide receiver commit Dakorien Moore, five-star cornerback DJ Pickett, five-star linebacker Jonah Williams, five-star LSU running back commit Harlem Berry and five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham.

The Tigers are in mix for some elite talent not only in the state of Louisiana, but around the country this cycle. And they already have commitments from the nation’s No. 1 QB (Underwood), No. 1 RB (Berry) and No. 1 WR (Moore) as they look to add to it. Of the message he was telling to uncommitted prospects this weekend, Underwood said: “Endless work and also building a brotherhood, just being the best us we can be.”

One of the biggest reasons for his commitment was his connection to the coaching staff, and namely co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks Joe Sloan. While other schools will continue to pursue Underwood, seeing the development of quarterback Jayden Daniels into a first-round pick has given him a lot of confidence in what he can accomplish.

“They develop quarterbacks pretty well,” he said, “and they get people where they want to be.”
