Bryce Underwood truly embodies what it means to be a “Michigan Man,” which naturally means he’s not a fan of Ohio State, affectionately referred to as “that team from Ohio.” This rivalry is deeply ingrained in Michigan culture; even the Michigan State Spartans aren’t fond of the Buckeyes. Growing up in Belleville, Michigan, and being recognized as the top recruit for the class of 2025, Underwood certainly knows what it means to hold a disdain for OSU.
His aversion to Ohio State is so intense that he didn’t hesitate to take a jab at one of the greatest sports figures of our time, possibly one of the greatest ever.
LeBron James might have skipped college basketball, but being from Akron, Ohio, he’s a passionate Ohio State supporter. Recently, Underwood had a chance encounter with LeBron, thanks to a mutual friend—none other than James Harden. Naturally, Underwood seized the moment to tease the prominent Buckeyes fan.
He recounted the amusing exchange to Rich Eisen, saying, “Just had to let you know, I go to Michigan. It’s over for Ohio State,” he quipped to LeBron.
