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

    The best player in the 2025 recruiting cycle made a shocking announcement Thursday night, switching his commitment from LSU to Michigan. That followed four-star prospect JuJu Lewis committing to Deion Sanders and Colorado earlier in the day.

    Underwood, who attends Belville High School in Belville, Michigan, is the highest-ranked commitment to the program since Rashan Gary signed as a defensive tackle in the 2016 recruiting cycle. Underwood had been committed to Brian Kelly and the Tigers since Jan. 6. However, he made the big announcement with signing day just under two weeks away.

    He is a five-star recruit in the 247 Sports’ Composite rankings and the No. 1 player overall in the ON3 and ESPN rankings. Rivals has him as the No. 2 overall player behind Ohio State quarterback Tavien St. Clair. He is the first five-star QB commit for the Wolverines under head coach Sherrone Moore and the first since JJ McCarthy in the class of 2021.

    Underwood announced his commitment to the Wolverines on social media with the caption, “Hometown. Hero’.
