5-star QB Bryce Underwood sets commitment date
Belleville (Mich.) High five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood confirmed his plans to On3 that he’ll announce a commitment on Jan. 6. The highly-touted 2025 signal caller will honor his late grandmother with his pledge.
Michigan, LSU, Alabama, Ohio State and others are making signifiant strides with the 6-3, 210-pounder. He’s been to all four campuses at least once since the winter. LSU and Alabama both had him camp in June.
The visit left LSU firmly near the top to land the top-ranked signal caller.
“It definitely cemented LSU to be one of the top schools that’s in the running for my son, absolutely,” his father Jay Underwood told On3. “LSU visit was great, I enjoyed the visit. Liked the southern hospitality. Liked the powerpoints for life after football that they were able to show us. Just the education background. We liked the whole trip, everything was great. It was a lot to take in, especially that delicious Louisiana food.”
According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Underwood ranks as the No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 quarterback in the nation. On3 has him as the top-ranked overall prospect.
Michigan currently leads the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

“Owns a big-time arm with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to all levels of the field. Throws a very tight spiral that amplifies the velocity on the tail of his passes. Has shown advanced nuance and skill as a passer early on. 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. Doubles as a run threat with the ability to make defenders miss and pull away at the second level. Has a 27-1 record as as a starter over the first two years of his high school career, leading his school to back-to-back state titles.
“Completed 65% of his passes for 2,751 yards and 37 touchdowns as a sophomore. Also rushed for 642 yards and eight scores. 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.”
