Through four games, Belleville (Mich.) Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Bryce Underwood has been showing exactly why he is the No. 1 prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.

The Tigers are 4-0 and fresh off of a 49-22 win over Dearborn last Friday. The key reason for Belleville’s undefeated season has been Underwood’s stellar year behind center.

Underwood is 43-of-57 passing for 803 yards and 14 touchdowns in those four games. He has also added 14 carries for 263 yards and four scores on the ground.

Two weeks ago, Underwood broke the Michigan high school football record for career touchdown passes at 125. Underwood ultimately threw for a whopping six touchdowns in that record-breaking game. 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.

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power broke down Underwood’s early-season performance.

“Bryce Underwood is playing at a very high level early on in his senior season,” Power said. “He continues to look like the top physical talent at quarterback in the 2025 cycle with his combination of size, elite arm strength and athleticism. Underwood is playing at a hyper-efficient level, while making impressive plays with his arm and feet. His accuracy continues to improve and we’ve seen his release quicken.

“Underwood also showed the ability to take over a game with his legs with dynamic rushing ability in his senior debut. The top-notch physical traits, high level of production and steady improvement make Underwood the top quarterback prospect in the cycle.”
