Report: Michigan is offering a massive NIL deal to the No. 1 recruit in 2025, hoping to lure him away from LSU.

The Michigan Wolverines are attempting to persuade 2025 No. 1 recruit Bryce Underwood to join them in Ann Arbor next season, despite the absence of money.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Underwood, who plays for Belleville in Michigan, has become a top priority for the Wolverines' recruitment program.

LSU is reportedly willing to offer Underwood, who has committed to play for them next year, $10.5 million in NIL money over four years, according to On3.

LSU is hopeful that Underwood is committed to the Tigers' program, as evidenced by an Instagram Story post he shared Thursday morning.

An LSU player was seen holding a No. 2 pendant in an image posted online, possibly in response to recent news.

The lack of funds for these universities is altering their recruitment strategies, and since Underwood is the top recruit, we are observing how these programs can utilize their financial resources to attract top players nationwide.

Although Underwood has committed to the Tigers, his verbal commitment can be changed before he signs his letter of intent next month, making him a potential target for other teams like Michigan.

Despite not disclosing its NIL offer for Underwood, LSU is among the schools with the financial capability to attract such a recruit.

Despite its success in winning the national championship under Jim Harbaugh, Michigan is not experiencing the same level of success in its current campaign under Sherrone Moore, with a 5-5 record after one season.

Michigan is confident that Underwood's arrival could significantly alter their football standing, and they are prepared to invest heavily to have him play at "The Big House."

We'll know for certain what Underwood decides next month when he's expected to sign.
