The No. 1 quarterback in the class of 2025 has officially received an offer from Oregon.

Over the weekend, 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood announced that he has received an offer from the Ducks.

Underwood is the No. 2 player in the nation and the No. 1 quarterback, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Belleville (Mich.) standout has received offers from Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and countless others.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently lists Michigan as the favorite to land Underwood at 35.1%.

Bryce Underwood On3 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 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.”

More on the On3 Industry Ranking

The On3 Industry Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. The On3 Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete and unbiased measurement.

The On3 Industry Ranking weights the primary recruiting media services based on past performance data, and overall scouting and recruiting coverage investment.

For football, the algorithm is weighted as follows: On3 (35%), 247Sports (35%), Rivals.com (20%) and ESPN (10%). 

For basketball, the algorithm equally weights On3, 247Sports, Rivals.com and ESPN at 25%.

The On3 Industry Rating and Ranking increases the total number of 5-stars and 4-stars seven times throughout the recruiting cycle, concluding with 32 5-stars for football and 20 for basketball. This solves for the problem of awarding 5-star ratings too early in the recruiting process to meet predefined quotas. With each passing month in the cycle, scouts in the industry have more data, information and scouting opportunities to evaluate better and project prospects. This process is referenced by the Industry “Strength” meter in the database. Listed below is the football star ranking update schedule:

Nov. 1 — Mid-sophomore year watchlist: 0 5-stars, 100 4-stars
