Bryce Underwood, nation's No. 1 quarterback, delivers 5 TDs, no incompletions ahead of Colorado visit

Belleville (Michigan) five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood put on a show Friday night

Belleville (Michigan) five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood is ready for Primetime.

On Friday night, the nation's No. 1 overall prospect and No. 1 quarterback in the class of 2025 contributed five touchdowns without a single incompletion in a 53-0 win over Dearborn.

Underwood finished the game 15-of-15 for over 250 yards with four touchdown passes and a touchdown run. 

The massive performance comes just one day before Underwood is expected to be in attendance for Colorado's home game against Colorado State.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound signal-caller is the headliner of a massive recruiting weekend for Colorado, one that will see the Buffaloes hosting IMG Academy (Florida) elite offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, bluechip athlete and Tennessee pledge Boo Carter and many others. 

But there's an electricity to Underwood's visit.

It feels like a major hurdle for Sanders' program, as the Buffaloes have become a legitimate threat to land the nation's top prospects, regardless of position, going forward.  

Here's what 247Sports had to say about Underwood as a prospect:

"Ahead of his years physically and looks like he could be a senior or college player already. Has a strong arm with the ability to make throws to any part of the field. Throws a good deep ball and can use touch to give his receivers a chance to go make plays on the ball. Did an exceptional job of taking care of the ball as a freshman with 39 touchdowns to just four interceptions. Got rid of the ball quickly and was decisive with the ball for the most part. Very good athlete who honestly could be a high-level recruit on defense if he was not such a great quarterback. Uses those legs to escape the rush and extend plays. He looks to throw after escaping but can also take off and be dangerous as a runner. Won a state title as a freshman and had to come up with some clutch throws through the season and playoff run, showing he could come through in clutch situations. Currently shows no glaring weaknesses, just needs to continue to progress in terms of learning defenses and going through progressions, but shows high-end physical tools as well as intangibles. Is a high Power Five prospect who will be recruited very heavily at a national level."
