Bryce Underwood, the No.1-ranked prospect in the country, was in action on Friday as he led his team, the Belleville Tigers, to a dominant 68-0 win against the Ann Arbor-based team, Pioneer Pioneers. It was the Tigers' first playoff game of the season and Underwood made sure to put on a show when it mattered the most.

Underwood dominated the game, throwing six touchdowns in the first half alone. In a video shared by League Ready on Twitter, the five-star recruit showcased his talent, throwing dimes all over the field en route to dropping 234 yards and six touchdowns through the first two quarters.

"Belleville gets the playoffs started RIGHT with a dominate 68-0 win over Pioneer led by #1 player in the country Bryce Underwood," read the caption.

Underwood announced his commitment to the LSU Tigers on January 6. He chose the Tigers over other top programs such as Michigan State, Ohio State and Alabama. However, despite his commitment to LSU, the Michigan Wolverines are still in play to flip the No.1 prospect's decision.

The Tigers' Class of 2025 is currently ranked No. 4 in the country, behind Alabama, Ohio State and Georgia. The program has landed 27 commitments so far, including two five-star recruits.

Bryce Underwood has been phenomenal this season for Belleville

The Belleville Tigers' star quarterback, Bryce Underwood, has led his team to a record of 9-1 so far this season. The five-star quarterback has played in eight games this season, winning six. The Tigers' only loss came against the Howell Highlanders on October 25.

So far this season, Underwood has tallied 1,477 yards, 19 touchdowns and one interception. He has completed 76.6% of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 153.8. He began his postseason with a bang, scoring six touchdowns and passing for 234 yards.

Underwood has also been effective on the ground, rushing for 427 yards on 24 carries and scoring three touchdowns. He has established himself as the best overall prospect in the country and has received offers from more than 20 top CFB programs all across the country.

He has been committed to the LSU Tigers since January this year, but other programs, especially the Michigan Wolverines, are still in the run to flip the five-star prospect's commitment. As per On3, the Wolverines have offered a great NIL deal to Underwood and are hoping to snatch him out of Baton Rouge.
