Bryce Underwood is a top overall talent in the 2025 recruiting class, according to 247Sports’ aggregate rankings.
He is a student at Belleville High School in Michigan, and he immediately impacted the varsity level.
Underwood threw for 2,888 yards and 39 touchdowns, with just four interceptions. He also scored six rushing touchdowns in his freshman season, helping Belleville win the state championship.
Underwood was voted the Michigan Associated Press Division 1-2 Player of the Year after his outstanding first season.
He subsequently led Belleville to a perfect 14-0 season and another state championship in 2022. As a sophomore, Underwood passed for 2,762 yards and 37 touchdowns.
To make matters even more impressive, Underwood may theoretically be a 2026 prospect, but he’s graduating early as part of the 2025 class.
Michigan has had its eye on the quarterback for a long time.
