Summary
- Bryce Underwood, top-rated QB recruit, flips commitment from LSU to Michigan
- Underwood aims to revive Michigan's passing attack and lead them to the playoffs
- Underwood won two state titles in Michigan, going 50-4 as a high school starter

As the 2025 college football season draws near, ESPN writers have shared their predictions and analysis for the Top 25 teams. Among them, Michigan was ranked 20th in the post-spring Power Rankings, and the Wolverines' X-factor for the upcoming season is their highly touted quarterback recruit, Bryce Underwood.
Underwood's high-profile commitment to Michigan was a significant recruiting coup in the NIL era. The top-rated pocket passer in the 2025 class, Underwood won two state titles in Michigan and went an impressive 50-4 as the starter at Belleville High School, with 38 straight victories from his freshman season to the state title game of his junior year.
The Wolverines struggled to throw the ball effectively last season, but Underwood's arrival could immediately change that in 2025. The young quarterback has the talent and potential to turn Michigan into a playoff contender, though it remains to be seen if he can live up to the lofty expectations as a true freshman.
