LSU Football has secured a significant deal by landing top quarterback prospect Bryce Underwood, confirming a permanent contract valued at $78 million. Underwood, a five-star recruit from Belleville, Michigan, had been verbally committed to LSU since January but faced intense competition from Michigan, which offered an impressive NIL package.
Massive Commitment: Underwood’s decision to stick with LSU comes after the program presented a lucrative multi-year NIL deal that solidified his commitment despite rival offers.
Talent Recognition: Widely regarded as the top quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class, Underwood’s skills have drawn national attention. He led his high school team to a 50-4 record and two state titles, showcasing his potential as a franchise quarterback.
Impact on LSU: This acquisition not only strengthens LSU’s quarterback lineup but also highlights the increasing influence of NIL deals in college football recruitment. Underwood’s presence is expected to elevate the team’s performance in upcoming seasons.
This landmark agreement marks a pivotal moment for LSU as they continue to build a formidable roster under head coach Brian Kelly.
