Michigan’s dismal season just got a lot better.

The Wolverines have a commitment from Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 recruit in the nation, to join the 2025 recruiting class.

Underwood posted the news, first reported by ESPN insider, Adam Schefter, on Instagram. Belleville cornerback Elijah Dotson who flipped from Pittsburgh to Michigan earlier this week, confirmed to The News that Underwood is joining him.

“He’s flipped, Bryce is going to Michigan, I found out earlier today,” Dotson told The News Thursday evening. “I’m very excited. Me and my brother only had one year together at Belleville and now we get to continue our relationship at Michigan.”

Michigan reportedly had an NIL offer upwards of $10 million over four years for Underwood who took an official visit to LSU Nov. 9 to watch Alabama crush the Tigers 42-13. LSU (6-4) lost to Florida, 27-16 Saturday.

Underwood, 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, has tremendous arm strength and accuracy and has been working on his running game the last two years, rushing for more than 500 yards this season, including two rushing TDs in Belleville’s 35-21 regional final loss to No. 1 Detroit Catholic Central Friday night when he hit on 11-of-23 passes for 188 yards and a TD with two interceptions to end his career.

And, what a career it was for Underwood, who led Belleville to Division 1 state championships during his freshman and sophomore seasons, then helped push Belleville’s winning streak to 38 games his junior year before a state final loss to Southfield A&T at Ford Field.

Underwood committed to LSU before a packed cafeteria at Belleville in early January and said his commitment was solid numerous times, then took his official visit to LSU earlier this month before seeing a sinking ship with the Tigers losing again and again.

Belleville coach Calvin Norman said he didn’t see Underwood flipping from LSU to Michigan despite the talk of the NIL money.

“My phone’s blowing up, it’s vibrating right now, just saw that Bryce flipped on ESPN,” Norman told The News Thursday night. “I haven’t heard anything from Bryce’s father. I’m shocked because I didn’t think it would happen.”

Underwood was on a mission to get back to Ford Field and win another state championship prior to the season. Then, he didn’t talk to some media members and Belleville’s coaches prevented the players from talking to the press during the postseason altogether.

So, did the pressure of LSU’s demise and Michigan’s big offer have anything to do with Underwood’s struggles during the past month. He was 50-4 during his career, 2-2 in his last four games, a 30-29 loss to Howell in the KLAA championship game, and then the loss to Catholic Central.

Well, Michigan fans don’t care how Underwood’s prep career finished, just looking forward to the day he runs Michigan’s offense at the Big House which more than likely will be next fall.
