Isn't Bryce Underwood Committed?

Bryce Underwood committed to LSU on January 6, 2024. He chose the Tigers over Michigan, Alabama, Colorado, Penn State, Florida State, and Oregon. 

Underwood made an unofficial visit to LSU on October 14, 2023, attended Tigers Camp on June 13, 2024, and most recently was in Baton Rouge for his official visit with LSU last Saturday, November 8.

But a commitment is a non-binding verbal agreement. Nothing is official until Underwood signs.
