Bryce Underwood breaks Michigan high school record for career touchdown passes
Belleville (Mich.) Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Bryce Underwood has long been the No. 1 prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. Tonight, Underwood added another achievement to his growing resume.
Having thrown two early touchdowns against Churchill (Mich.), Underwood broke the Michigan high school football record for career touchdown passes. He currently sits at 125 passing scores in his career with a long season still remaining.
Stockbridge’s Mason Gee-Montgomery set the previous record in 2016 at 124 passing touchdowns before going on to play for Case Western Reserve University.
The current Michigan state record for total career touchdowns belongs to Kevin Grady Jr. of East Grand Rapids at 151. Grady went on to play tailback and fullback for the Michigan Wolverines.
The 6-foot-4, 214-pound Underwood came into the evening with 123 passing touchdowns and another 23 on the ground in his career — just five short of tying Grady’s record.

Bryce Underwood Recruit Profile
Underwood has been committed to LSU since Jan. 6, when he chose the Tigers over in-state Michigan. He is the top-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
On3’s scouting and rankings team writes this about him as a prospect.
“Premier arm talent who is one of the more gifted high school quarterback prospects in recent years. Combination of arm strength, pocket feel and processing ability makes him the top quarterback in the 2025 cycle. Owns a wide-shouldered frame, measuring in at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds with 10-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Touts a big-time arm with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to all levels of the field. Has the ability to touch every area of the field with ease. Throws a very tight spiral that amplifies the velocity on the tail of his passes. Has shown advanced skill as a passer. Comfortable delivering over the middle of the field from within the pocket. Consistently sticks the ball on receivers against tight coverage. Shows the ability to layer passes with touch and high-level location, especially downfield. Demonstrates the best pocket presence in the cycle entering the senior season. A vertical mover in the pocket who navigates pressure at a level well beyond his years. Has rhythmic feet when operating within structure.
“Doubles as a run threat with the ability to make defenders miss in space. Arguably the most accomplished quarterback in the cycle, touting a 40-2 record as a starter with two state titles entering his senior season. Completed 65% of his passes for 3,329 yards (12.1 yards per attempt) and 41 touchdowns against 3 interceptions as a junior. Has longer arms and has a tendency to drop his elbow at times within his throwing motion. Team often raced out to big leads, allowing for fewer high-leverage and playmaking opportunities as a junior. Very young for the cycle with an August birthday and could technically be a 2026 prospect. Has considerable physical upside and room for continued growth.”
