More on Bryce Underwood’s commitment

From The Wolverine’s EJ Holland:

Underwood made an under-the-radar visit to Michigan earlier this week and gave the Wolverines a verbal pledge soon after.

Underwood originally gave LSU a verbal pledge in January and seemed solid to the Tigers throughout the process. However, Michigan made a strong run late, including putting an NIL package on the table estimated to be worth around $10.5 million.

“In my opinion and everything I know about how collectives operate, I would say that if Bryce Underwood does land at Michigan, it would definitely be above market value,” said On3 NIL insider Pete Nakos. “Everyone talks about the Nico Iamaleava deal at Tennessee that was worth $8 million over four years and the Jaden Rashada deal that was $13 million over four years that never came about. Bryce is obviously a generational player. He’s guy that would probably start at Michigan on Day 1 and help them compete for the College Football Playoffs right away. But I would say that $10.5 million number is on the high side of what most quarterbacks are getting in college football right now.”
