Bryce Underwood made his first trip to the Big House since flipping his commitment, and he was in Ann Arbor with a familiar face.

Michigan's new five-star recruit flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan earlier this week, much to the delight of Wolverines fans amid a disappointing follow-up to last year's national championship.

As Underwood made his way through the tailgate scene, he posed for photos with Connor Stalions.

Stalions was the accused ringleader of an alleged sign-stealing scandal within the Michigan program last year.

Underwood plays for nearby Belleville High School, where Stalions is now a coach. Stalions began the season as Mumford High School's head coach but joined Belleville for the playoffs.

The quarterback is listed as ESPN's top high school prospect in the country. 

According to On3, Michigan was willing to offer Underwood $10.5 million in NIL money over four years, an unprecedented sum for a player who hasn’t played a college snap. The report added earlier this month that LSU was hopeful Underwood would remain loyal to it after committing to the Tigers in January.
