Get ready for a little gossip about Bryce Underwood flipping! As the 5-star quarterback and No.2 overall in the 2025 recruitment class, the LSU commit is the most promising prospect. Thus, a rumor such as this causes a flurry of discussion across the country. The intriguing part is that Michigan influences these supposed headlines. What’s even more intriguing is that college football insiders are now betting on this fact, which may offer Sherrone Moore, the head coach of Michigan, even more cause for celebration.

In case you are unaware, Moore and Michigan are actively courting 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood in light of LSU’s recent difficulties. Because Sherrone Moore, a rookie coach, is focused on establishing a 2025 dynasty. Rivalsdotcom uploaded a series of posts on November 1st about CFB insiders’ wager on Underwood’s potential flip, captioning them, “THIS WOULD BE INSANE 🤯.” However, Underwood has been committed verbally to LSU since January.

However, considering the rumor that Michigan is trying to flip Underwood, CFB insider, Adam Gorney makes a bold comment, stating “Michigan is working on a significant NIL package to flip Bryce Underwood.” adding, “Michigan’s interest in Bryce Underwood is real. It is going to be interesting.” And he based his remarks on information he had from Michigan sources. “Michigan is putting together a comprehensive NIL package outside the means of alum Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports who has now said on numerous occasions he would be willing to pay multiple millions of dollars a year in NIL to land a top-tier quarterback,” stated Adam. As you may remember, Dave previously stated that he would spend up to $3 million to bring a quarterback to Michigan. You can now observe the discrepancy in his statement, which may persuade you to accept the Bryce rumor. Don’t believe it? Check out Dave’s recent statement: “To all Michigan fans. I’m working on it.”

But CFB insiders betting on Bryce don’t stop there. Regarding Underwood’s potential transfer to Michigan, Grem Smith remarks, “The buzz for Michigan football will be bigger than last year’s big flip when Dylan Raiola picked Nebraska.” Insiders point out that Bryce’s high school is 30 minutes from Michigan, which gives Moore even more justification. Therefore, it may be simple for the program to stay in contact with the top athlete until he makes up his mind about his commitment.

Nevertheless, despite all of these causes for excitement, the question remains regarding the part ‘more to celebrate’. Is Moore upset for any reason? Does anyone have a de-commitment?

Sherrone Moore’s slight setback

Underwood is the center of attention, but Michigan is also strongly pursuing 4-star CB Shamari Earls, who just broke with South Carolina. Meanwhile, their aggressive recruiting efforts were somewhat hampered by the 2025 four-star quarterback, Carter Smith’s de-commitment.

Smith, who had been a member of the Wolverines since November 2023, was among the top players in the 2025 class. Hayes Fawcett stated that Carter Smith de-committed from Michigan on Wednesday night on his X account. Now, the QB ranked second in the Florida Top 100 wrote a heartfelt note on his X, stating, “I would like to start by thanking the coaching staff at Michigan for everything they have done for me. I would especially like to thank Coach Campbell for everything and for giving me such an incredible opportunity. With that being said, I would like to announce that I have decommitted from the University of Michigan.”

The crucial question now is whether he can commit. “We’ve had multiple schools get back to us and are ready to take him. I think that’s the direction. There were a couple of surprises in there because they have kids right now,” said Smith’s father, Dan. That seems to be the direction. However, what options are there? On3 lists Clemson, Penn State, and Wisconsin as notable universities. But it is now unclear where the famous athlete will end up. Therefore, be patient till the end of this season.
