"Lol he lost to that tiny QB": CFB fans react to LSU commit Bryce Underwood's unexpected end to high school football career

The nation's No.1 ranked quarterback in the Class of 2025, Bryce Underwood, was supposed to go all the way this season. However, his Belleville High School shockingly lost 35-21 to the Catholic Central Shamrocks on Saturday in the second round of the playoffs.

The game was a one-sided affair, as the Tigers were outplayed by the Shamrocks. Underwood had a fantastic final season but failed to lead his team to glory and is now set to enter the collegiate level with the LSU Tigers. He announced his commitment to the Baton Rouge-based team in January.

MaxPreps shared a few highlights from the game on its Instagram account and fans were quick to react to Underwood and Belleville's surprising loss. A lot of fans took a dig at the five-star quarterback and blamed him for the Tigers' loss.

"I don’t think he ready for the SEC," one fan said.

"Lol he lost to that tiny QB," another fan said.

"5 star in 2006 is a easy 2 star nowadays. Internet smh," one fan said.
