LSU had the standout from Belleville, Mich., who has been ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2025 since January, and it looked like the Tigers might be able to hold off a late chase from the Wolverines, especially after he recently visited Baton Rouge, but that was not the case. case.
Michigan desperately needed a quarterback in this class as the Wolverines have had so many offensive issues this season.
Four stars Carter Smith fired from the Wolverines in recent weeks — when Underwood’s recruitment ramped up even more — and now Wisconsin is the favorite in his recruitment.
The five-star who could still fight for the No. 1 overall spot in the class – he’s behind alone State of Ohio connect Tavien St. Clair — has the ability to step in right away and become Michigan’s starter next season.
During his recruitment, Underwood was lukewarm towards the Wolverines.
Ohio State was a school he had communicated with a lot, but the Buckeyes took a pledge from in-state five-star St. Clair, prompting the Belleville standout to make his pledge to LSU.
His relationship with offensive coordinator Joe Sloan remained strong throughout his recruitment, but in recent days things have started to tilt in Michigan’s favor.
The feeling was that people around Underwood started to get on board first on the field at Michigan and the five-star quarterback decided it was the best move for him as well.
There was a chance Underwood would visit Michigan this weekend for the against Northwest and making the move to The Big House, but on Thursday it was announced that the big move was taking place.
Underwood’s news comes just hours after the five-star quarterback was announced Julian Lewiswho had worked for this USC for more than a year, dedicated to Colorado earlier on Thursday. Days ago, four-star quarterback Husan Langstraat of turned Texas A&M to the Trojans.
The quarterback dominoes may be far from over. The Aggies are still looking for a quarterback this recruiting cycle, and so is LSU after Underwood’s decision.
Maybe a Michigan coach Sherron Moore knew more than he recently let on. When asked at a recruiting press conference about Michigan’s recruiting situation for quarterbacks, the Michigan coach let out a small grin and said:
“We’ll be fine.”
Michigan is more than fine after flipping Underwood.
