Breaking Commitment News

Michigan football just made history! Bryce Underwood officiallyflipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan on Thursday. This game-changing move came after months of buzz and stands as our program’s highest-ranked recruit ever.

Landing Underwood has been an incredible experience. Our team put together a massive NIL package that sources say could hit eight figures over multiple seasons. The Belleville native’s choice to stay home instead of heading to LSU marks a defining moment in Michigan football’s story.

Michigan’s dedication showed clearly. General Manager Sean Magee watched Underwood’s recent game against Howell from the sidelines. Four-star wide receiver commit Andrew Marsh jumped in to help bring Underwood on board.

LSU’s Brian Kelly will feel this loss deeply, especially after his team’s success with 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. Underwood’s decision proves Michigan football has evolved its recruiting strategy. We’ve now established ourselves as a powerhouse in today’s college football world.
