MSU Rival Michigan dealt a blow in recruiting top prospect

Bryce Underwood.

The top prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, quarterback or not. Andrew Ivins of 247Sports already touted him as a future first-round pick and he got a player comparison to the great Vince Young, who might be one of the best quarterback prospects of all time.

His scouting report contains no negative points.

“A potential franchise signal-caller with the ideal blend of size, arm talent and athleticism,” Ivins wrote. “He hasn’t lacked command on the field midway through senior season, which makes sense given his resume: 48-plus career starts and 165-plus touchdowns. Those numbers are further amplified by the fact that ‘he is extremely young for the grade and will not make it from the age of 20 until his third year of college, he continued to improve as a passer and became much more. in tune with his mechanics, however, the biggest revelation of his last preseason campaign was his ability to move the chains with his legs as he developed his speed and avoided defenders as an open court runner. frame north of 6 feet 3 inches and pushing 215 pounds.

Underwood probably still doesn’t want to spend the next four years in Ann Arbor. At least that’s what a recent post he made on social media implies. The prodigy released a report explaining how he was likely to turn down the $10 million.

Is it over for the Wolverines’ chances?
