LSU Football: No. 1 QB in America Visiting Baton Rouge

When Brian Kelly accepted the job at LSU, he knew his recruiting resources would be the best in the country. With such a large talent pool in the South, it’s benefitted him greatly, but the work has just begun after locking down his first true class.

Fast forward to now and Kelly is retooling for the future, specifically at the quarterback position, and he's going national.

Over the last few months, this recruiting staff has offered two of the top signal-callers in the 2025 cycle: George MacIntyre and Bryce Underwood.

The gifted quarterbacks continue stacking offers but the Tigers are making sure to get in on their recruitment as early as possible in order to develop relationships. It’s Kelly’s favorite part of the process and it’s clear his intentions here.

With Jayden Daniels returning for his final season in Baton Rouge and Garrett Nussmeier looking to be the guy to follow in his footsteps, it’s obvious the plans Kelly has when it comes to recruiting 2025 quarterbacks, getting it started already.

Fast forward to this weekend and Underwood will be on LSU’s campus for their Bayou Splash event. A monstrous opportunity for the Tigers to roll out the red carpet for Underwood and his family on the weekend of his parent's anniversary.

The No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 class, it’s for good reason. The youngster has proven just how dominant he can be in the high school game after lighting it up during both his freshman and sophomore campaigns.

As a freshman, Underwood threw for 2,888 yards, 39 TDs, and four INTs, adding six rushing TDs. In addition to a dominant stat sheet, he also led Belleville to a 13-1 record and the Michigan Division I state championship. Sophomore year? Continued growth.

The Tigers are one of 30+ schools to offer Underwood as his recruitment explodes before what many expect to be an eye-opening junior season. With a developed frame, standing at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds Underwood is already looking physically prepared for the next level.
