Two weeks before college football’s early National Signing Day, the dominoes continue to fall.

The top player in the 2025 recruiting cycle made a shocking announcement by switching his commitment from LSU to Michigan on Thursday night. This comes on the heels of four-star prospect JuJu Lewis committing to Deion Sanders and Colorado earlier in the day.

Underwood, who attends Belleville High School in Belleville, Michigan, is the program’s highest-ranked signee since Rashan Gary signed at cornerback in the 2016 recruiting cycle. Underwood has been committed to Brian Kelly and the Tigers since January 6th. However, he made a big announcement with just under two weeks left until signing day.

He becomes the first five-star QB committed to the Wolverines under head coach Sherron Moore and the first since JJ McCarthy in the 2021 class.
