Edit:

Michigan was ‘very close’ to getting 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood

quote:

BELLEVILLE -- Bryce Underwood had 300 people in the Belleville High School cafeteria waiting with bated breath to hear him announce his college commitment.

Outside of the Belleville cafeteria, there were millions of college football fans eagerly awaiting his announcement as well. At just 16 years old, Underwood was the center of the sports world on Saturday evening as he announced his commitment to play football at Louisiana State University.

It’s pretty great,” Underwood said of the attention. “But it’s also a curse to some people as well. But with the hate ad the love they bring to it, it makes me a better person as well.”

Just more reasons why we have to do everything we can to keep Sloan.

If you would’ve told me just 5 years ago that the #1 prospect in the country stated this after picking LSU I would’ve called you a troll.

I've watched it with Joe and Jayden and I know the current staff does a great job at it, but this sentence being tied to LSU still feels like the Twilight Zone

I knew he was coming to LSU as soon as I saw the food they feed recruits

University of Michigan, a school that is just a 25 minute drive from where Underwood plays football on Friday night’s in the fall.

As soon as Underwood made his first visit, he said LSU had done their homework and knew plenty of about him when he arrived.


Does anyone proof read any more?

“Yeah, definitely,” Underwood said. “It was a very close competition.”


Michigan isn't going to let up. Expect them to put all their chips on the table at some point NIL wise

Thanks for posting

In my experience, it’s very unusual for a high school kid to go that far to go play at lsu so it’s very encouraging to see.

5 years ago, I’d question to motivation, but now, with kids being paid above board, it appears as though he is coming because he sees it as best fit for him as a top program.

In a perfect world, this guy has a running package in '25 backing up Nuss and takes over full-time in '26.

BK has to do whatever it takes to keep Sloan on staff through signing day.

So, what's BK waiting for?

Make the hire and be done with it.

IF BK decommits Sloan from LSU, then say bye bye to BU.....
