Things are not going well for LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly.

The last three games have all been losses for the Tigers, including the latest being a 27-16 loss to the Florida Gators after having the ball for nearly 42 minutes. They are firmly out of the College Football Playoff picture and things have only gotten worse.


On Thursday afternoon, multiple reports surfaced that the number one overall recruit and LSU commit quarterback Bryce Underwood has flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan.


Just three days ago, our own Ryan Roberts wrote about how Underwood had an enrollment date of December 9th in Baton Rouge.

Underwood has been firm in his commitment to the Tigers, but the Michigan Wolverines have been making a strong push in recent weeks. There was a report recently surrounding a $10.5 million NIL offer that was even on the table for Underwood if he flips. That type of money would give any recruit a lot to think about.

Since the report surfaced, the Underwood camp has pushed back against the idea of a flip and reaffirmed their commitment to LSU. Taking it one step further, we now know an enrollment date for Underwood, who will be officially heading to Baton Rouge on December 9th according to a source. 


It's a remarkable move for the Wolverines, who desperately needed a quarterback they can build around long-term and head coach Sherrone Moore got that with an in-state prospect.

On the other side, it's a brutal blow for the Tigers, who's other five-star commit in cornerback D.J. Pickett was just in Gainesville on an official visit watching the Gators beat the Tigers. 

There are already plenty of people calling for Kelly's job and that noise isn't going to go away anytime soon.
