LSU football waved goodbye to the brilliance of Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels as he heads into the 2024 NFL Draft — only to land the program's potential quarterback of the future.
Bryce Underwood, the consensus No. 1 player in the 2025 recruiting class, announced his commitment to the Tigers Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback from Belleville, Michigan, decided to commit to the Tigers despite offers and interest from Alabama and Michigan, among others.
“LSU felt like home,” Underwood told On3's Hayes Fawcett. “The relationship I built with the coaching staff is unbreakable. I’ve never felt an atmosphere better than LSU’s. It’s unreal.”
During the first two years of his high school journey, Underwood boasted an impressive 27-1 record, leading his school to consecutive state championships. The quarterback is technically eligible for the class of 2026, but will reclassify to 2025 to enter the college football realm as early as possible.
