] / Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK

On Thursday night, the perception of Michigan football's future changed.

Head coach Sherrrone Moore and the Wolverines just pulled off a flip of five-star Belleville (Mich.) qurterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class. It's an endeavor that Moore, his staff, the University's donor support and the enitre program had undertaken over the past several weeks, and Thursday night they got it done.

Here are some of the top social media reactions to the groundbreaking development:

Michigan's biggest recruiting win since ... ever? https://t.co/mQRykwTWan

Michigan is on a roll recruiting right now, and it likely isn't going to stop. On top of the Wolverines' NIL clearly being in a good place, Underwood is the kind of prospect that can draw a lot of top prospects to come join him

Michigan's recruiting momentum is 📈

I’m hearing there’s a lot of talk about Michigan potentially “buying” the top-ranked college football recruit in America.

I’m sorry, I don’t see any of that sort of chatter. I have poor people muted on my timeline.

The money cannon and all boats sailing in the same direction works. It was about damn time Michigan jumped into this territory.

Outstanding job by everyone involved, truly. Potentially a era-defining flip for Sherrone Moore.
