TAMPA, FLA. — In preparation for the ReliaQuest Bowl on Dec. 31 against Alabama, Michigan football welcomed several of its 2025 high school signees to practice. Among the newcomers in uniform was No. 1 recruit Bryce Underwood (Belleville, Mich.).
Top recruit Bryce Underwood ‘loved’ at Michigan bowl prep
Although they can’t play in the bowl game, it’s an opportunity for the incoming freshman to get to know their future teammates. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said Underwood fit in nicely.
“First of all, he’s an unbelievable kid,” Moore said Monday. “They love him. All he wants to do is get better and be a great teammate.”
During Underwood’s recruitment, it didn’t seem as if anyone had a chance to flip him from LSU. Moore said he wants to make a point of keeping the best players in the mitten at home.
“For me the biggest thing is just wanting to get the best players possible,” Moore said. “I want to make a huge emphasis (to) keep the best players in Michigan, in Michigan. And when you have the best player in the country right down the road, it was vital for us to go get our guy.
“I want to do it every year. Keep those players in Michigan, and not let them go to these other schools.”
