Underwood originally committed to LSU on Jan. 6, choosing the Tigers over the Wolverines and Alabama Crimson Tide. However, amid his struggles at quarterback this season, Michigan has gone all out in an attempt to turn around LSU’s five-star in recent weeks, including at the expense of his previous quarterback from 2025 commit, carter smith.

In Belleville’s nine regular-season games this season, Underwood threw for 1,798 yards and 28 touchdowns against one interception. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder added 427 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 24 carries. Belleville defeated Saline, 42-7, on Friday night in their district championship game, as the Tigers seek their third state championship with Underwood at quarterback.

The early signing period for the 2025 recruiting class begins Dec. 4, and Underwood will likely have made a final decision by that date to be able to enroll early at the college of his choice. For now, Michigan (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) is making final preparations for today’s matchup against No. 8 Indiana (9-0, 6-0) in Bloomington.
