Top Recruit QB Bryce Underwood Officially Commits to Michigan Wolverines Over Alabama
In a significant boost for Michigan football, five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood has officially signed his commitment letter to join the Wolverines for the 2025 season, spurning rival Alabama in favor of Ann Arbor. The announcement, made earlier today, has electrified the Michigan fan base and left college football analysts buzzing about the Wolverines’ future prospects.
Underwood, a standout at Summit Academy in Michigan, has long been regarded as one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation. His combination of arm strength, athleticism, and football IQ has drawn attention from programs across the country, but it was the Wolverines who ultimately won his heart.
“I am excited to announce that I will be committing to the University of Michigan,” Underwood said in a statement. “The coaching staff, the culture, and the chance to play in front of the best fans in college football truly played a huge role in my decision. I can’t wait to be a part of this program and help bring championships back to Michigan.”
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh expressed his enthusiasm about Underwood’s choice, stating, “Bryce is an exceptional talent who possesses the skill set and leadership qualities that fit perfectly with our vision for the program. We are thrilled that he has chosen to be a Wolverine, and we look forward to grooming him into a future star at Michigan.”
Underwood’s decision comes amid fierce competition, notably from the University of Alabama, which has built a reputation as a perennial powerhouse under head coach Nick Saban. Despite the allure of joining one of college football’s most successful programs, Underwood’s commitment to Michigan underscores a growing trend of top-tier recruits opting for programs with strong ties to their local communities and promising development pipelines.
With Underwood now signed on, Michigan fans can look forward to exciting things in the future. Analysts expect his arrival in 2025 to help propel an already formidable Wolverines squad to new heights as they continue to chase Big Ten and national championships.
As Michigan celebrates this significant recruitment victory, all eyes will be on Underwood as he continues to develop his skills through his final high school season. The Wolverines’ 2025 recruiting class is already shaping up to be a standout group, and Underwood’s commitment is a key piece in what promises to be an exciting era for Michigan football.
