Looks like Bryce Underwood had some help flipping his commitment.
Tom Brady, who capped his Michigan career in 1999 with a win over Alabama in the Orange Bowl, may not have played for the team in over twenty years, but that doesn’t mean he has stopped trying to ensure the program reaches its ultimate goal.
The biggest news of Michigan’s 2024 season happened off the field. The program was able to land a commitment from quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall player in the 2025 signing class.
It took many months to make this happen as he was originally headed to the LSU Tigers.
Tom Brady reportedly played a role in convincing top quarterback prospect Bryce Underwood to flip his commitment as he had “multiple conversations” with him over the weeks leading up to the quarterback’s Thursday commitment to the Wolverines, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
According to the report, those talks were “one of many factors” that led Underwood to leave LSU. During their conversations, Brady “emphasized that he’d be a resource for Underwood moving forward,” according to Zenitz.
