Bryce Underwood is a high school quarterback from Belleville, Mich., just outside of Detroit. He is a 6-foot-3 junior who, for a couple years now, has been considered by recruiting services to be the No. 1 quarterback, if not No. 1 overall recruit, in the Class of 2025.
Nearby Michigan has made him a priority. He took a “junior day” trip to Penn State. He and his family have made unofficial visits to SEC powers Alabama and LSU to meet Nick Saban and Brian Kelly, respectively. A national outlier, Oregon, remains in the running.Then came last Saturday — when Coach Prime, Shadeur Sanders, Travis Hunter andColorado had initially offered Underwood a scholarship back in January.
“Prime is a legend,” Bryce’s father, Jaquan Underwood, told 247Sports. “When I was a kid I wanted to be like Prime. I played corner. Having that guy on the other end talking to my son, it was surreal.None of this means Underwood is suddenly certain to sign with CU. Recruiting is always tough. It does show how a single game might have flipped everything around, though.
He’s repeatedly stated that he expects to only recruit a select number of high schoolers because getting proven and older players out of the portal is smarter. Colorado has just nine verbal commits from the Class of 2024. Five stars, however, are different. And they appear to be listening. That might be because Sanders speaks differently than other coaches, both in style and substance.
