Bryce Underwood trending to LSU ahead of commitment
The No. 1 prospect in 2025 will make his decision on Saturday as Five Star Plus+ quarterback Bryce Underwood approaches his commitment. LSU has the heavy lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for the Bellville (Mich.) star.
LSU quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan has teed the Tigers up for a commitment from the top-ranked prospect. I’ve made my On3 RPM pick for LSU to land the elite prospect, joining Shea Dixon and others.
Finalists Alabama, Colorado, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Oregon and Penn State are hopeful to land him. It’s a stressful time, but one that is coming to an end soon.
His trainer, Donovan Dooley, trains plenty of top prospects who have to balance the push from programs as decision dates approach. With Underwood’s decision coming up, how does Dooley help him not let the moment stress him out?
“Treat it like a football game, take it as it comes. Move the chains. At the end of the day, in all that you’re feeling, make sure it’s good and the good is for you.”
The Tigers hope that’s good for them. At this point, all signs point to LSU.
Bryce Underwood scouting report
The early top quarterback prospect in the 2025 cycle. A top arm talent and plus athlete who is among the more physically-gifted quarterback prospects in recent cycles. Measured at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds with a 10-inch hand the spring after his sophomore season. Owns a big-time arm with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to all levels of the field.
Throws a very tight spiral that amplifies the velocity on the tail of his passes. Has shown advanced nuance and skill as a passer early on. Comfortable delivering over the middle of the field from within the pocket. Consistently sticks the ball on receivers against tight coverage. Shows the ability to layer passes with touch and high-level location. Doubles as a run threat with the ability to make defenders miss and pull away at the second level. Very young for the cycle with an August birthday and could technically be a 2026 prospect. Has considerable physical upside and room for continued growth.
