Well, it’s hard to make peace with the fact that the no. 1 quarterback of the nation, Bryce Underwood, actually committed to the Michigan Wolverines over the LSU Tigers despite their standing in the current season. And knowing the Tigers’ history with quarterback Jayden Daniels, this decision is not only shocking but also giving chills to the fans. However, it’s one of the few big moments of victory for the Wolverines this season; let them have their moment of contentment.

Now that the young athlete is going to start his new journey, it’s time to call shots and celebrate. Even Salem Rocks high school assistant football coach Chris Robbins reflects on the same emotions. As today he took to X, sharing his heartfelt congratulations to Bryce Underwood, saying, “Congrats, Bryce! Way to earn it. Keep up the grind and the hard work. It only gets more difficult. Thank you for all you’ve done for Michigan High School Football in this state. Made everyone else better in the process.”

Well, it seems the Michigan Wolverines NIL tactic did wonders for the team. Head coach Sherrone Moore said he’ll do everything in his power to recruit Bryce Underwood, so how could he let money get in the way? The young quarterback was offered $5 million at first, and then they doubled the amount. Their constant efforts to get Bryce’s attention finally worked. But what can be the possible reason apart from the NIL that changed his mind?

Bryce Underwood’s possible reason to make a switch

Well, undoubtedly, getting Bryce Underwood is going to be a game-changer for Michigan. They not only secured their quarterback position, but also made a long-lasting impact on their offense. Now that the team finally has Underwood’s commitment secured with them, one thing that is constantly making everyone scratch their heads is why would he leave a team like LSU for Michigan? There is no straight answer to it; mostly it can be because of the idea of staying back home in between his loved ones.

However, that is not the major concern. Bryce Underwood is a player who holds the capability to take up the charge right away, but with LSU and the possibility of Garrett Nussmeier’s return, there are fewer chances of him getting full control of the game. But with Michigan, he can start immediately and can make a big difference in the team as there is no one standing in his competition, and even the team has wanted him for this since the very first day. Now that he’s finally part of the team, we’ll see if he brings good or bad luck to Moore’s army.
