Bryce Underwood, a standout high school quarterback, was reportedly offered a four-year contract worth $1.5 million by the LSU Tigers, but the Michigan Wolverines were willing to blow it out of the water. This week’s biggest college football story was the NIL-influenced flip of Underwood.
Desperate for a long-term option under center, they made Underwood an offer he could not refuse. Their four-year deal was reportedly worth $10 million, with some reports saying that he could make up to $12 million during his time in Ann Arbor.
The No. 1 rated quarterback and overall player in the 2025 class, it makes sense why schools were offering him so much money.
It is a major coup for the Wolverines, who have been struggling this year. After winning the national championship last season, Jim Harbaugh went back to the NFL, accepting the head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers, leaving the program in a state of transition.
