Five Star Plus+ QB Bryce Underwood includes LSU in top schools
2025 Five Star Plus+ quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall prospect in the country, included LSU in his Top 7 schools. Underwood told On3’s Hayes Fawcett the group, which also included Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, and Florida State.
The Tigers, led by quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan, have long been one of the top programs for Underwood. Michigan is believed to be the other main challenger.
On Saturday, the gunslinger told On3 he remains comfortable with the timing of a January 6 decision. That day Underwood went 21-of-25 for 312 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday’s 65-14 district finals win over perennial in-state powerhouse Saline.
“I’m still deciding if that’s the right date, but it’s more than likely the right date,” Underwood said.

Bryce Underwood scouting report
“The early top quarterback prospect in the 2025 cycle. A top arm talent and plus athlete who is among the more physically-gifted quarterback prospects in recent cycles. Measured at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds with a 10-inch hand the spring after his sophomore season. 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.”
Underwood emerged as an immediate impact player as a freshman, throwing for 2,888 yards and 39 touchdowns with only four interceptions in 2021. He also led Belleville to a state championship that season while also being named the Michigan Associated Press Division 1-2 Player of the Year.
For his sophomore season, Underwood was just as good, if not better, leading Belleville to an undefeated 14-0 record and another state championship in 2022. He threw for 2,762 yards and 37 touchdowns last season.
